#!/bin/bash
#
# This shell script takes care of starting and stopping Geoserver deployed in Apache Tomcat
# It also handles killing Geoserver in case it doesn’t stop gracefully
# It uses a PID file to determine the process ID so it should work with multiple Tomcat instances on one server
# Just copy the script and change $INSTANCE variable to run multiple Geoserver instances
# Tested on Ubuntu 12.04
#
# chkconfig: - 80 20
