What is the difference (in Tomcat terminology) between “stopping” Tomcat, and just killing the process?
If Tomcat has a pid of, say, 500, then what is the difference between:
kill -9 500
And
service tomcat stop
?? Thanks in advance!
kill = bam! it’s dead.
Stop = allow it to end gracefully. Any running applications can run any code they have for this occurance. The server instance iself will gracefully release resources.
