tomcat hangs on stop

["Andrew B. Luck" <ab...@yahoo.com>]

hello,

i'm a newbie with a linux machine already configured with tomcat.

tomcat starts when the computer boots.  i try to stop it using a script
(/usr/bin/tomcat) with the command 'tomcat stop'.  it hangs with the message
'Stoping tomcat 8007 null'.

also, i am trying to get tomcat to a jar for jdbc.  i've been placing it in
different folders (/var/tomcat/lib) for it to find.  i've had no luck.  how
can i determine which folder tomcat is looking to for jar files?

please help,
-andy

Read the shell scripts. In this case, particularly, read the 
'tomcat.sh' script; $TOMCAT_HOME/lib is right, so assuming on your 
machine $TOMCAT_HOME is /var/tomcat you've put it in the right place. 
Be aware, of course, that if you *don'T* start tomcat with the standard 
scripts, your on your own.
