So the correct solution is to modify the startup/shutdown command line or to setup TOMCAT_OPTS/CATALINA_OPTS?
Thanks again for the replies!

I believe you are correct -- but I have found (only anecdotally) that the shutdown one doesn't have a negative impact, because on my platform at least (linux) -- even though the Virtual size allocated is huge, the resident set size doesn't grow any more quickly than it actually should (apparently at least, again I've only experimented with this on Linux). cheers fillup On 5/16/02 4:46 PM, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Well, yeah except he wants to get more memory... and wouldn't setting the > XXXOPTS variable set the heap size not just for startup but also shutdown? > In other words, this way you could get tomcat to start with 512mb of heap, > but if you call shutdown.bat/shutdown.sh, the shutdown vm grabs its own > 512mb heap...
