This works for me too. >You still can add -X or -server options but they should be after -jvm_option. I tried to add -X parameters, but somehow tomcat.exe does not accept my input. Am I correct in assuming that -X params are jvm params and therefore need -jvm_option in front? I tried the following (which does not work): tomcat.exe -install "Apache Tomcat" C:\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1_02\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll -jvm_option -Djava.class.path=D:\Tomcat4.0\bin\bootstrap.jar -jvm_option -Dcatalina.home=d:\tomcat4.0 -start org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService -jvm_option -Xms128M -jvm_option -Xmx256M -params start -stop org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService -params stop -out d:\tomcat4.0\logs\service.out -err d:\tomcat4.0\logs\service.err I put everything in a batch file all on one line (very readable!! but Windoof does not recognise \ as a line continue char like a C pre-processor). Do you see whats wrong with my command above? Thanks again! Thomas By the way: I try to subscribe to the dev mailing list to get more information about the sources of this tomcat.exe program! If I get any info I will post it here. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
