Re: starting and stoppping tomcat

I think you need to rethink your use cases here... Exactly WHY do you need to start and stop tomcat from a button on a web page? Or do you really need to enable/disable some kind of function? Generally speaking servers don't expect to be started or stopped by their clients - well, ok,
