Which is it: forceful or graceful? The two are not usually compatible.

'graceful' is found in Apache HTTPD: [the] signal causes the parent
process to advise the children to exit after their current request (or
to exit immediately if they're not serving anything). The parent
re-reads its configuration files and re-opens its log files. As each
child dies off the parent replaces it with a child from the new
generation of the configuration, which begins serving new requests
immediately.

There is no equivalent for Tomcat.

The Commons Daemon found in tomcat/bin/commons-daemon-native.tar.gz
provides a service wrapper and /etc/init.d/ type sample script which may
be useful.


Why do you need to schedule Tomcat restarts? It is often a mitigation
applied instead of resolving the cause of a memory leak. Better to find
& fix the leak than leave it place.
