I'm not familiar with Tomcat, but rcNG has the capability of solving these
types of problems. The author of the script can use check_process(${name}
command_interpreter) instead, so that the scripts will check the running
processes rather than the pidfile.
I'm working on a set of ports that require that because they are tcl
scripts, so the ${name} of the process is squild, but ps returns tclsh8.4
instead.
*If* that's the problem with Tomcat, it's fairly easily fixed.
