[Bug 58626] New: Tomcat does not start at boot time due to SIGHUP
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58626
Bug ID: 58626
Summary: Tomcat does not start at boot time due to SIGHUP
Product: Tomcat 6
Version: 6.0.44
Hardware: HP
OS: HP-UX
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Native:Integration
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: 1983-01-06@gmx.net
When hooking Tomcat into the init.d of HP-UX, Tomcat does not come up at system
start time. After an in-depth analysis of the startup scripts and HP-provided
packages, we have noticed that the HP-UX init sends a SIGHUP to the startup
script and child processes. Java does exit immediately.
One simple solution to this is to use nohup(1). Therefore, I'd like to propose
to change the catalina.sh for "start" only which turns:
"$_RUNJAVA" "$LOGGING_CONFIG" $LOGGING_MANAGER $JAVA_OPTS $CATALINA_OPTS
into
$JAVA_WRAPPER "$_RUNJAVA" "$LOGGING_CONFIG" $LOGGING_MANAGER $JAVA_OPTS
$CATALINA_OPTS
Not quoting JAVA_WRAPPER is intentional because those who do not need a
wrapper, the script won't fail on the empty argument.
Patches can be provided for Tomcat 6 and up.

I think this may change the meaning of pid value in $CATALINA_PID file. I think
that it will be the process id of nohup process instead of java one.
Known uses of pid value:
- forcibly terminating Tomcat with shutdown.sh -force
echo "Killing Tomcat with the PID: $PID"
kill -9 $PID
- asking java for a thread dump
echo "To aid diagnostics a thread dump has been written to standard out."
kill -3 `cat "$CATALINA_PID"`

Having an if/else around would duplicate 15 lines for nothing. Unnecessary
maintenance overhead.

I'd be glad to see a better solution but there is not better way -- yet. Even
HP does this, so it must be a OS-specific issue. I did not say that the Tomcat
scripts are broken. We just need to broaden support. OS X, OS/400 and Cygwin
get special treatment too.

Tomcat 5.5? This is ages old. Nothing is worse that outdated information.

Not an option becuase it does not detach for the shell script and stdout/stderr

I am stuck for 6.x current but would be happy to see this fixed in 8.x and

My patch suggests patching both codepaths.

Thank you for checking! I was just guessing. (I remember users reporting
similar problem with wrong value in pid file in some old version of
catalina.sh, ~4 years ago.)
Apparently this means that this version of nohup is implemented as replacing
the old process with a new one, preserving the pid. A feature of unix exec()
function. OK, good.
If you are using CATALINA_PID files, can you also check that they contain the
expected value of process id?
BTW, in POSIX.1-2008/2013 there is a recommendation to redirect stdin when
invoking nohup. See 'RATIONALE' section in
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/nohup.html
Their example:
nohup make </dev/null &
BTW, I think it will be better to explicitly unset _NOHUP variable by default.
So that it is not carried over from a caller. It is an internal variable used
by catalina.sh.
unset _NOHUP

--- Comment #6 from Michael Osipov <19...@gmx.net> ---
I do not intend to write another wrapper for a wrapper for a wrapper. This ends
in a mess. Given that there are already so many shell scripts involved in the
start of Tomcat, I'd like to avoid any further customization of standard
scripts. That ends in a private fork which I'd like to avoid at any cost.
Tomcat runs perfectly fine on HP-UX on the HP JVM for years now.

I can share in private, the relevant spots. Besides, I am not the only ASF
member having access to a HP-UX box, Mladen Turk has also (the last time he
wrote). Do we want to involve him?

I can happily confirm that the patch from trunk works on HP-UX. Tomcat comes up
as expected. Regarding the PID file:
> smartld@blnn724x - /var/opt/tomcat/work
> bash $ pwd
> /var/opt/tomcat/work
>
> smartld@blnn724x - /var/opt/tomcat/work
> bash $ less catalina.pid
> 1961
>
> smartld@blnn724x - /var/opt/tomcat/work
> bash $ ps -fu smartld | grep /tomcat/conf
> smartld 1961 1 0 11:13:58 ? 0:49 /opt/java8/bin/java > -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/var/opt/tomcat/conf/logging.properties -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apa
Thanks a lot for the patch. I can remove the sed patch with the upgrade to
6.0.46.

I'm +0 on this idea, but failing to quote is going to be a problem.
Instead of using an unquoted value, you should use if/else to either run the
command with the wrapper, or run it without the wrapper.

HP's documentation is lousy though, I can upload the original
/sbin/init.d/tomcat script and their modified version of catalina.sh. Is that
enough for you? I have provided another reference in comment 1.

> CATALINA_PID works as expected
I was skeptical. My quick test:
$ nohup sleep 100 &
[1] 9556
$ echo $!
9556
$ ps aux | grep sleep
chris 9559 0.0 0.0 2457368 880 s001 S+ 6:30AM 0:00.00
grep sleep
chris 9556 0.0 0.0 2434824 664 s001 S 6:30AM 0:00.00
sleep 100
$! returns 9556, the pid of the 'sleep' process.
I haven't looked at the code for, say, GNU nohup, but I suspect it's used often
enough in this type of situation that use of exec() is almost certainly
required to make it useful.

Thanks.

If it works it will be back-ported to all supported versions (i.e. all the way
to 6).
> We are currently running and planning to move to 8.0.
Later this year work on 8.0.x is going to stop and the focus (for 8) will
switch to 8.5.x. If you are planning a move to 8, I'd strongly recommend
targetting 8.5

Perfect.

Quite a nice solution. Line 274 has too many spaces in it.
I will test that next week in a HP-UX 11.31 and will let you know. Are you
going to backport this to 8? We are currently running and planning to move to
8.0.
For this case, I will download 9.0.0.M6 and apply the patch to it.

Proposed patch for Tomcat 9.0.x, version 1
I don't have an HP-UX box to test with but the described behaviour is odd to
say the least.
There are other reasons why one might want to start with nohup so I have put
together a slightly more general solution using some of the ideas proposed
above. The short version is nohup on start is available for all operating
systems and HP-UX will use it by default.
Feedback on the atached patch appreciated - particularly from anyone with
access to an HP-UX box.

Given the length of time other HP-UX users have been running Tomcat without

something that needs to be fixed in the Tomcat scripts.

Michael, can you provide a reference that says that HP-UX sends a SIGHUP to

Absolutely no idea, this
(https://h20392.www2.hpe.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPUXWST603201)
is the package I used as a template for the modified start scripts. The rest is
unusable and too old. I use an Ant script which downloads Tomcat from Nexus,
unpack, compile Tomcat Native, download additional libraries etc.

You should be able to patch the script that calls catalina.sh to wrap that call
with a nohup. Such a recipe is already mentioned in the FAQ
https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/TomcatOnSolaris10
https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Linux_Unix#Q3
It is also possible to consider switching from "catalina.sh start" to
"catalina.sh run".
In general, this is interesting. With nohup I have to redirect stdout and
stderr, or it will create its own nohup.out. Here the redirection is already
on the command line, so it writes to catalina.out without a need for separate
log file.
Note that there is also bug 53930 (allowing to replace catalina.out with a
pipe) that also intends to change the launch command. I think it is not
committed yet, because it is too tricky.

1. The above line is from Tomcat 6. It does not match catalina.sh in current
trunk which uses "eval".
2. There are more that one variant of "start" command. There are different
commands with Security Manager enabled ("-security") and without one.

1. That information is not outdated. It applies to current versions as well.
The issue is with O/S, not with Tomcat.
2. You know that the wiki is editable? You can update it yourself.

Nobody ever complained about stop. You do not call "stop" during boot time.

You have provided no patch file. I cannot read one's mind.

Such a new feature has to be implemented and tested with Tomcat 9 first. Then
it can be backported to older versions.
In theory, catalina.sh of Tomcat 9 can be used for Tomcat 6 as well. Is it
true? (I mean, is it safe to backport all improvements that have not been
backported yet, align Tomcat 6 file with trunk one)?
In general: the idea is interesting, but
1) I prefer a solution that is compatible with proposal in bug 53930
2) It needs testing, especially on rare systems
3) Your proposal does not match the current code in trunk, thus my lack of
confidence in your words and your testing.
An explicit patch file is needed so that the discussion were more focused.
> When hooking Tomcat into the init.d
Usually there is a wrapper script. You do not hook-in catalina.sh directly. You
do not run it with root user.

Are you certain about this?
Here is the output of HP-UX:
