tomcat6 status results into dead state

[rahul vatsa]

Hi,

When i start tomcat6 two times without a stop in between, rctomcat6 status
results into dead state.

I checked the rctomcat6 start script, in this case when the tomcat6 is
already running and a rctomcat6 start is done, it display a msg that  "
process already running", but it continues in the start function further
down & executes the
TOMCAT_SCRIPT(dtomcat6) script with the start argument. And after that pid
in the tomcat6.pid file gets changed but the process keeps running with the
old pid, and hence when we do a rctomcat6 status, it results into dead
state(bcoz it doesn't find any process running with that pid).

I think it shouldn't execute the TOMCAT_SCRIPT in this case,  so in case
when checkpid is success(in start function), i put an exit after the echo
msg  " process already running", this solves the problem, but is this the
correct solution ?
If you think its not the right solution, plz suggest me something
appropriate.




function start() {
    echo -n "Starting Tomcat ($CATALINA_BASE)"
    if [ -f "/var/lock/subsys/${NAME}" ] ; then
        if [ -f "/var/run/${NAME}.pid" ]; then
            read kpid < /var/run/${NAME}.pid
                if checkpid $kpid 2>&1; then
                    echo "$NAME process already running"
                        rc_failed 0

        #The below exit i have added
                        exit
                    else
                        echo -n "lock file found but no process running for
pid $kpid, continuing"
                        rc_failed 7
                fi
        fi
    fi
