None of the suggested solutions worked for me.

I had run tomcat restart before completing the deployment which messed up my web app.

EC2 ran tomcat automatically and tomcat was stuck trying to connect to a database connection which was not configured properly.

I just needed to remove my customized context in server.xml, restart tomcat and add the context back in.

For a more graceful way  try the following   Caveat  I m running Debian 7  not Ubuntu  though it is a Debian derivative  If you re running Tomcat as a service  you can get a list of all running services by typing   sudo service --status-all  I m running Tomcat 7  which is displayed as tomcat7 in said list  Then  to shut it down just type   sudo service tomcat7 stop

if you are run this command    debian debian      usr share tomcat7 bin shutdown sh  then your server will not stop and you will get o p like that you provided if you use in   super user mode then effect will appear o p will come like this   debian debian    sudo  usr share tomcat7 bin shutdown sh   sudo  password for debian    Using CATALINA BASE     var lib tomcat  Using CATALINA HOME     var lib tomcat  Using CATALINA TMPDIR   var lib tomcat temp  Using JRE HOME          usr lib jvm java-1 6 0-openjdk  Using CLASSPATH     var lib tomcat bin bootstrap jar  var lib tomcat bin tomcat-juli jar

Van  in your case where tomcat won t shutdown normally  i  would use   ps ax   grep java   to find the java process number   If that command returns something  then run  sudo kill -9 pid   where pid is the process number   The -9 option means  just kill it   and normally you don t need this sort of thing  but since in your situation the process won t stop normally  you need it   The output of the first command should look like  38678 s002  U      0 02 62  System Library Frameworks JavaVM framework Versions CurrentJDK Home bin java -Djava util logging config file  usr share apache-tomcat-6 0 26 conf logging properties -Xms2048m -Xmx2048m -XX PermSize 256m -XX MaxPermSize 512m -Djava util logging manager org apache juli ClassLoaderLogManager -Dcom sun management jmxremote -Dcom sun management jmxremote port 8086 -Dcom sun management jmxremote ssl false -Dcom sun management jmxremote authenticate false -Djava rmi server hostname xxxx -Djava endorsed dirs  usr share apache-tomcat-6 0 26 endorsed -classpath  usr share apache-tomcat-6 0 26 bin bootstrap jar -Dcatalina base  usr share apache-tomcat-6 0 26 -Dcatalina home  usr share apache-tomcat-6 0 26 -Djava io tmpdir  usr share apache-tomcat-6 0 26 temp org apache catalina startup Bootstrap start   38678 is the process number   Be aware that there might be other java processes running that you might not want to kill  Also  this output is from a mac  so on ubuntu will look slightly different

Caveat  I m running Ubuntu  sudo service --status-all   you can get a list of all running services by typing this command    If you re running Tomcat as a service it will showes up as   tomcat    so run    sudo service tomcat7 stop    tomcat7 or 8 or depending to the name that you have in the list of running services     else and if you are using apache tomcat you will see   apache2   showing up with the list of services then run    sudo service apache2 stop

When running Tomcat under jsvc  it will not respond to the shutdown signal on the specified shutdown port which is sent from the shutdown sh script  The only way that I m aware of is to kill the process  however you ll need to kill the ones listed as jsvc  not java
