before, i had problems running the both startup.sh and catalina.sh files as they were under cygwin.
however, i made the below changes and everything is working ok. is it possible to update the below files in the distribution to includes the following changes? startup.sh -------- #### #### ADD THE BELOW LINES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FILE AFTER THE COMMENTS SECTION #### cygwin=false case "`uname`" in CYGWIN*) cygwin=true;; esac echo "CYGWIN usage: $cygwin" #### #### MODIFY LAST LINE TO READ #### if $cygwin ; then exec "$PRGDIR"/"$EXECUTABLE" run "$@" else exec "$PRGDIR"/"$EXECUTABLE" start "$@" fi catalina.sh --------- # For Cygwin, switch paths to Windows format before running java if $cygwin; then JAVA_HOME=`cygpath --path --windows "$JAVA_HOME"` CATALINA_HOME=`cygpath --path --windows "$CATALINA_HOME"` CLASSPATH=`cygpath --path --windows "$CLASSPATH"` JSSE_HOME=`cygpath --path --windows "$JSSE_HOME"` #### #### ADD THE BELOW 2 LINES #### CATALINA_BASE=`cygpath --path --windows "$CATALINA_BASE"` CATALINA_TMPDIR=`cygpath --path --windows "$CATALINA_TMPDIR"` fi after making the above changes, tomcat runs fine under cygwin when executed as follows: [TOMCAT_HOME]/bin/startup.sh alexander, thanks for your help! :) At 11:09 02/03/20 +0100, you wrote: >Hi Tek, > >Why are you using cygwin?
