I've installed Tomcat 9 on Ubuntu 18.04, and trying to add it to service.
However, unlike other users, tomcat.pid file doesn't exist anywhere. So my Tomcat service file generates an error.

What is the problem?

It looks like there was a change from v9.0.14 in the catalina.sh file
$ diff bin/catalina.sh ../tomcats/apache-tomcat-9.0.14/bin/catalina.sh 479c479
< 2\>\&1 \&\& echo \$! \>\“$catalina_pid_file\” \; \} $catalina_out_command “&” > 2\>\&1 \& echo \$! \>\“$catalina_pid_file\” \; \} $catalina_out_command “&” 489c489
< 2\>\&1 \&\& echo \$! \>\“$catalina_pid_file\” \; \} $catalina_out_command “&” > 2\>\&1 \& echo \$! \>\“$catalina_pid_file\” \; \} $catalina_out_command “&” If you remove the extra ampersand there, the pid file is created as expected.
