Ubuntu – how to stop tomcat7 in ubuntu

tomcat7

I have installed apache tomcat7 using the command apt-get.
Now whenever I start my system, tomcat is running. I want to stop the tomcat so that I can start it within eclipse.

I tried stoping it with shutdown.sh command and I am getting the below error :

admin@admin-eMachines-E727:/usr/share/tomcat7/bin$ sudo /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/shutdown.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /usr/share/tomcat7

Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/share/tomcat7

Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/tomcat7/temp

Using JRE_HOME:        /usr

Using CLASSPATH:       /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/share/tomcat7/bin/tomcat-juli.jar

Generally any service in Ubuntu can be managed by 

sudo service <service_name> <argument>

Here service_name stands for name of the service, in your case it is tomcat7.

Argument stands for type of the action like start,stop,restart,status, in your case it is stop.

so finally you can stop tomcat7 with this below command.

sudo service tomcat7 stop
