All I was saying is that a web front end would be nice. A good way to create a web
front end with what ever security you want, etc is to use a servlet. It is possible
to make a servlet do many things one should be to fire off some code such as
"org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat -stop", to start a shutdown. (Though I have not
attempted the code myself.) Am I missing something here?
P.S. I am not attempting to stop/start an NT service. There are windows mechanisms
to do that, even remote.

The problem with this is, how to you restart Tomcat?
I see two basic choices:
1. Use some other package to remotely control the services. This
has been the methodology used here for 90% of our projects
2. Write an application that listens to a port for the
startup/shutdown command. I did this once and its not to big of a deal (but
I can't give you the source). The basic structure is:
Get Server Socket
Read a command (will block until command sent)
Process command (some forethought here will make this easy to adapt
to other projects)
Repeat
Really, not a lot to it, however if you get smart and start adding
other features (like cleaning up log files while the service is down, doing
multiple services in a particular order) it can get complicated and messy
without forethought.
