If you run Tomcat from a console, you cannot log off; otherwise, the application terminates. You can disconnect from the session (not log off) and any applications already running keep running. Normally, you would reconnect to the same session, but if you do not, you can use Terminal Services Manager to reconnect to the session (by default, Windows Server 2000 and 2003 allow two administrator sessions at the same time plus the local console connection; by default, Windows Server 2008 and later normally connect to the console session, although that can be changed by configuring local or domain group policies to allow multiple sessions as in Windows Server 2000 and 2003). Although the default is that disconnecting a session leaves it running until someone either logs out of the session or reboots the server, many organizations set an idle time limit for disconnected or inactive sessions, and actually reset them after the time limit is reached, which is the same as logging out.
