Title:
  init script doesn't handle hanging tomcat processes

Status in tomcat7 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in tomcat8 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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"
