Package: tomcat5.5 Version: 5.5.26-3 Severity: normal Hi,
When tomcat is running as a daemon, it keeps open file descriptors for the terminal. irma:~# lsof -a -c jsvc +D /dev/pts COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME jsvc 19251 root 1u CHR 136,1 3 /dev/pts/1 jsvc 19251 root 2u CHR 136,1 3 /dev/pts/1 I think that there is no reason why a daemon should keep the terminal open. It's not very annoying when the daemon is run on startup by init. But when it is run over a SSH session, then the SSH session will not close gracefully, which is quite annoying. Simply adding ">/dev/null 2>&1" to the $DAEMON invocation in /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 would probaby solve the problem, but it might have some unwanted side effects. It would probably be better to fix jsvc to disconnect from the terminal when daemonizing, but I have not looked at the code.
