Should Tomcat Windows Service StopTimeout kill the process at timeout?

[Sebastien Tardif <Se...@gmo.com>]

Hello,

I was somehow expecting something useful from "-StopTimeout" parameter from Tomcat 7.0.52 Windows Service referenced at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/windows-service-howto.html

But when I set a timeout, well in the UI it's called "timeout" under "shutdown" tab, the behavior seems to only "give-up" after the timeout, instead of actually forcing to shutdown by killing the process.

Do we have a way without writing new code to force shutdown by killing the process after a certain amount of time?


Cordially,

I wish there was, but I don't think there is one in the windows service 
system.  I end up killing the process manually if the service controller 
doesn't shut it down in time.
