Hi there, I'm trying to install tomcat 5.5.16 as a service on my Windows XP machine using the service.bat script. I tried following the instructions given at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/windows-service-howto.html to specify the user account (the --User parameter, in conjunction with the --Password parameter) the service should run as. Though tomcat installs as a service, I'm unable to get it to start as the specified user; it always starts as "SYSTEM" user. I've attached the service.bat (with my modifications) to this mail. Any help/pointers will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rajesh Rajamani @echo off if "%OS%" == "Windows_NT" setlocal rem ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- rem NT Service Install/Uninstall script rem rem Options rem install Install the service using Tomcat5 as service name. rem Service is installed using default settings. rem remove Remove the service from the System. rem rem name (optional) If the second argument is present it is considered rem to be new service name
