To my understanding, you are correct. It's locked to only listen for a shutdown command on the localhost interface 127.0.0.1 for security reasons.

According to the documentation, the server component has attributes for className, port, and shutdown, but not bindIPAddress. What IP address is the server listening to for the shutdown command?

If my server.xml file contains this:

<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" debug="0">...</Server>

...is the server waiting for the shutdown command, SHUTDOWN, on 127.0.0.1:8005?
or
...is the server waiting for the shutdown command, SHUTDOWN, on *:8005 (All IP addresses assigned to the server)?


I run netstat -a and I get the following for port 8005:
Local Address Remote Address State
-------------------- -------------------- -------
localhost.8005 *.* 0 0 24576 0 LISTEN


I'm not much of a sysadmin, but this suggest that something (tomcat) is listening for the shutdown command on 127.0.0.1:8005.
Am I correct?


Thanks,
Troy
