I'd like to see more structured data available in the response. Either in
CSV/TSV or in XML (maybe selectable via a request parameter/header).

I'm not sure why you'd use a non-daemon waiting loop, instead of a simple
single-threaded daemon listener. Is that because you want this status listener
to be able to reply with a "Tomcat connector dead" response or something like
that? I figure that if no connectors start, Tomcat should probably die and the
"Tomcat is dead" response would just be a connection failure.

There is no need for a "shutdown" command on this port IMO.

Maybe you could just re-purpose the existing shutdown listener entirely and add
more commands that it recognizes, like "STATUS" and "UPTIME" (though one might
argue that those are really the same command). This is likely to require
re-factoring because, as you mention, you can't SHUTDOWN before Tomcat has
fully initialized anyway. Being able to shut down Tomcat before startup
completes (for example, under a faulty configuration that stalls forever while
starting up) would be a good thing to be able to do.
