It's Tomcat's implementation. You could run on another AS if this bothers you.

You can safely remove the PID file after a crash.

Its probably best not to automatically delete the pid file since it will act as a lock to prevent concurrent instances.

Thank you mrogers,

I think the best is to create a script "remove catalina.pid" which start before alfresco. (put links to this script in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/ et /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/).
