Answer 1

killproc will terminate programs in the process list which match the name $NAME

Strictly speaking this is in your case java .

If it is the only java process you can go and put java in $NAME

If you run other java services you have to find another way to stop your java process, e.g. putting the PID in the /var/lock/subsys/$NAME file and then killing the process using the pid.

On at least debian there is a nice tool which helps with this, but I am not sure it exists for redhat.
