Running TC 7.0.22 32-bit on windows server 2008 R2 Standard
(64-bit).

I'm trying to start tomcat7w from a .cmd file to monitor the
TC services, and can't seem to find the correct way of
formatting the cmd-line parameters.

When I just copy the command line from the start menu
shortcut, it tells me I have a bad parameter. For example:

start "C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software
Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\bin\tomcat7w.exe" //MS//Small-55009

tells me "Invalid switch - "/".

Removing one of the leading slashes returns 'Invalid switch
"/MS"' I have tried it without the "start", and have tried
removing one of the leading slashes. I couldn't find anything
in the TC online docs either.

What am I missing here?

Did you try :

start "C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software
Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\bin\tomcat7w.exe //MS//Small-55009"

Yes.  That doesn't throw an error, but doesn't start the monitor
either.


You might also try searching Google for "windows cmd quoting
rules"

And are you sure that it is tomcat7w.exe that must be started,
not tomcat7.exe ?

Yes, it's the service monitor I'm trying to start, not the tomcat
server.

Next guess then : the "monitor" tomcat7w.exe is not itself a
Service, it is just an application, no ? Doesn't "start" refer to
Services only ?

Nope, it's a kind of "do it" program that allows you to launch
programs with/without a terminal, minimized, etc.

Yeah, what he said. In this usage, "Start" tells a windows batch file to start the specified program and continue on, rather than waiting for it to finish, as it would if you started it with "call" or with just the program name. I'm trying to have a single batch file start the various tomcat7w instances for the TC services, rather than having to create a shortcut for each one and copy it into the startup group.

You're thinking of the "net start..." command, which does start a service.
