Can't shut down Tomcat 5.5.17 on FC 5

[Jarrod Mennuobe]

I'm working with Tomcat 5.5.17 on Fedora Core 5. I'm able to start it no problem by cd'ing to Tomcat's bin directory and doing

./startup.sh &

However, when I do this...

./shutdown.sh

...I get this error message...

[root@localhost bin]# ./shutdown.sh &
[1] 6400
[root@localhost bin]# Using CATALINA_BASE:   /home/ethan/apps/tomcat

JDWP exit error JVMTI_ERROR_INTERNAL(113): No transports initializedFATAL ERROR in native method: JDWP No transports initialized, jvmtiError=JVMTI_ERROR_INTERNAL(113)

Afterwards I find that Tomcat has not shut down.

I notice that the error includes "address already in use" but I don't know how to use that information because I don't know what address they're talking about or why a shutdown operation would cause that error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I forgot to mention that I have this in my catalina.sh file as I'm trying to use debugging...

JAVA_HOME="/home/ethan/apps/jdk1.5.0_07";
JAVA_OPTS="-Xverify:none -Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005";

Is there a better way to configure debugging?

Thanks.
