Thanks to everyone for the information. I did not realize that the admin.jar was trying to shut down orion through the RMI port. I was trying to shut it down throught the port I manually specified in my default-web-site.xml file.
I took of the port number in the admin command call and it worked like a charm. Thanks! _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
