[Bug 632554] Re: tomcat fails to start with: /bin/bash already running.

[Stéphane Graber]

I can confirm that the fix works as expected, here's the output of my test.
I started a bash shell as tomcat6 in a shell, then ran the following commands on an up to date lucid system (with -updates and -security)

root at lucid:~# ps aux | grep tomcat6
tomcat6   3850  0.0  0.1  11172  1968 pts/1    S+   14:45   0:00 bash
root      3896  0.0  0.0   7624   900 pts/0    S+   14:45   0:00 grep --color=auto tomcat6
root at lucid:~# /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start
