In answer to your question as to how to stop the IM program: it runs in the system tray so you just have right click on the icon and choose exit from the list. I can't run the IM program and Tomcat simultaneously or the IM program will interfere. As Anton Brazhnyk suggested, I tried to telnet to the port to use the Tomcat shutdown command and it would not even connect. I ran <netstat -a> and saw the IM program listed in there and suddenly a light bulb went on in my head. As I mentioned in one of my Tomcat Users posts, at one point, using <netstat> I found the shutdown port (8005) in a TIME_WAIT mode. It struck me that IM is the kind of software that is programmed to pursue and hold onto a connection on a continuous basis, so I decided to try exiting the IM program to see if that could be the source of the interference and sure enough it was. I uninstalled and reinstalled Tomcat and ran it without the IM program running and the problem was solved. So there you have it.
