Tomcat and Monit

[Charles Pino]

Hello all,

 i have a current Monit config that simply restarts Tomcat if it quits, but it seems that i am having multiple Tomcat PIDs whenever Monit restarts the service. my question would be.

1.] how do i kill or make sure the PID is killed before i execute the restarting of the service?

i have this right now

check host tomcat with address localhost

stop program = "/sbin/service tomcat stop"

start program = "/sbin/service tomcat start"

if failed port 8080 and protocol http

then start
