I've been trying to get this -stop argument working to see if it was
faster but with no success to report so far... I believe commons-daemon
should provide us with better tools than just kill(1) to stop services.

And I find strange that you cannot just do this:

  $ jsvc -pidfile /var/run/tomcat55.pid -stop

Indeed, jsvc wants you to provide a class name, even to stop a service
as it seems...

The shars made it unharmed. OTOH, you left some junk files in the second
shar file and this will prevent the archive to get extracted on my
system. I got it working by removing the related lines in the shar file
anyway. :)
