一、分析说明
为了写出更加完善的tomcat启动方面的脚本，用于代码上线自动化，特分析下tomcat的bin目录下的shutdown.sh脚本，学习标准的sh脚本的编写方法，从中吸取经验
二、脚本分析

# resolve links - $0 may be a softlink
PRG="$0"
while [ -h "$PRG" ] ; do
ls=`ls -ld "$PRG"`
link=`expr "$ls" : ‘.*-> \(.*\)$‘`
if expr "$link" : ‘/.*‘ > /dev/null; then
PRG="$link"
else
PRG=`dirname "$PRG"`/"$link"
fi
done
#上面循环语句的意思是保证文件路径不是一个连接，使用循环直至找到文件原地址
#遇到一时看不明白的shell，可以拆解后自己在linux反复运行验证，一点点拆解就会明白的
#link=`expr "$ls" : ‘.*-> \(.*\)$‘` 模拟后： expr ‘lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 3月 17 10:12 ./bbb.sh -> /root/shell/test.sh‘ : ‘.*-> \(.*\)$‘
#很明确的发现是用expr来提取/root/shell/test.sh的内容
#获取这个脚本的目录
PRGDIR=`dirname "$PRG"`
EXECUTABLE=catalina.sh
# Check that target executable exists
if [ ! -x "$PRGDIR"/"$EXECUTABLE" ]; then
echo "Cannot find $PRGDIR/$EXECUTABLE"
#判断脚本catalina.sh是否存在并有可执行权限，没有执行权限就退出
echo "The file is absent or does not have execute permission"
echo "This file is needed to run this program"
exit 1
fi
exec "$PRGDIR"/"$EXECUTABLE" stop "$@"
#exec命令在执行时会把当前的shell process关闭，然后换到后面的命令继续执行。
#exec命令可以很好的进行脚本之间过渡，并且结束掉前一个脚本这样不会对后面执行的脚本造成干扰。
#exec 命令：常用来替代当前 shell 并重新启动一个 shell，换句话说，并没有启动子 shell。使用这一命令时任何现
#有环境都将会被清除。exec 在对文件描述符进行操作的时候，也只有在这时，exec 不会覆盖你当前的 shell 环境。
三、总结
解读完startup.sh脚本，就会发现shutdown.sh与startup.sh结构及其相同，tomcat的shutdown.sh主要目的找到catalina.sh脚本位置，将启动命令参数传递给catalina.sh执行。
