Ubuntu version:

Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release:        14.04
--------------------------------------------------------
package version:

tomcat7:
  Installed: 7.0.52-1ubuntu0.1
  Candidate: 7.0.52-1ubuntu0.1
  Version table:
 *** 7.0.52-1ubuntu0.1 0
--------------------------------------------------------
Expected:
when the start-stop-daemon fails to stop the process (e.g. Java VM stuck), it returns 2. I expect the script to return an error message, exit code != 0 and not remove the PID file.

--------------------------------------------------------
Happens:
The init script checks the return codes for start-stop-daemon and handles "1" and "3" correctly. All others are handled like a "0":
- pid file removed
- exitcode of the init script is "0"
