Answer 1

I think the officially recommended way (according to catalina.sh inline comments) is:

• create a setenv.sh file under $CATALINA_HOME/bin:

#!/bin/sh

CATALINA_PID="$CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.pid"; export CATALINA_PID

• chmod as executable:

  chmod u+x setenv.sh

• create the pid file by:

  touch $CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.pid

• then startup tomcat as usual, the pid file will be updated automatically. And you can stop tomcat by "-force" option as well.
