I tried to close the tomcat using ./shutdown.sh from tomcat /bin directory. But found that the server was not closed properly. And thus I was unable to restart
My tomcat is running on port 8080.
I want to kill the tomcat process running on 8080. I first want to have the list of processes running on a specific port (8080) in order to select which process to kill.
Use the command
sudo netstat -plten |grep java
used grep java as tomcat uses java as their processes.
It will show the list of processes with port number and process id
tcp6 0 0 :::8080 :::* LISTEN
1000 30070621 16085/java
the number before /java is a process id. Now use kill command to kill the process
kill -9 16085
-9 implies the process will be killed forcefully.
