Minor Description
This issue was reported for Tomcat 7.0.6: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50673
To reproduce:
1. Install apache-tomcat-7.0.6.exe I am installing with default options. I am not starting Tomcat after installation.
2. Launch the command prompt window.
3. The following command succeeds:
net stop Tomcat7
It prints two localized messages that can be translated as
The "Apache Tomcat 7" service is being started.
The "Apache Tomcat 7" service started successfully.p
4. The following command apparently fails, but actually it succeeds:
net stop Tomcat7
It prints two localized messages that are, citing from BZ 50673:
System error 109.
The pipe has been ended.
Note that "The service being stopped" message is not printed.
5. Repeating the command shows that the service has been stopped:
net stop Tomcat7
The "Apache Tomcat 7" service has not been started.
The commons-daemon.<date>.log contains only the following four lines when stopping the service with Debug logging enabled:
[2011-01-27 20:18:59] [info] ( :0 ) Stopping service...
[2011-01-27 20:18:59] [debug] ( javajni.c:844 ) argv[0] = stop

[2011-01-27 20:19:00] [debug] ( prunsrv.c:871 ) Waiting for java jni stop worker to finish...
Stopping the service with Stop button in prunmgr app succeeds without any messages.
Stopping the service from the Services list in the Control Panel quickly goes to 50% of progress but then continues to wait forever, without any changes on the screen.
