Id so, there would be a -Dnop on the command line that is a hack to prevent a broken command-line when no logging configuration has been specified (which is the case above). I don't have enough experience with jsvc to know what the command-line looks like when its in use... you can easily check for the parent process for the JVM and see if it's something like "jsvc" -- though it could have been re-renamed by Amazon. >>> Something has changed between version 24 and 37 in Tomcat when >>> it parses the JVM options (-D). > >> Again, Tomcat does not parse command line options and has >> absolutely nothing to do with the JRE-supplied System class.

Given that it's not Tomcat scripts, it's unlikely to have been affected directly by the upgrade in Tomcat version. Instead, you are probably seeing some environmental change that you may otherwise be unaware of: Amazon changed something, and it happened at the same time the Tomcat upgrade occurred. I think logging a bug with Amazon was appropriate. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJSTYw1AAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYPjwQAMZqZDwsAaPDfhjOwfmtMkVY 6ZJh1ouw/5Jv/w9Ir8SXkw2+n2a+ML25+yDW/K9SQ4lq6N0Q17WAIX0tXH/tmYPn GCYRdnH9pUeLTtfhNPwPzCqcCvSaiofjQtI+Eqiz7/Q2hYSFm5j08D2XR+2sHJJJ DGNzD070VQk4skWu8iL1rnfoWdazuKu/UviqUz3iWkPnMDQDUgtt92sK9P+sVaCf bB1sRD9QAPYeW9+fnd48puA7Dtyo9UKrpln4iRGol0pfPUHHYRbo/ESULlu7D5hA Uvc05fr2Hm9evgkwgHPrA4ALqxdjbwNvrtBkHhPoUhPQieQhUtr5LJJRHtjS06ZJ YnwKDgZ2e/CYzzHeHuGfT3/j2S2Ml2C9ZC4Ho68JwzvomVfwPSRF+qXILtExpN+J e9t+ds7MGKTNXWLjfvB9FKZfYhN/SHeH1/tvmMj/H6CY34aVrN0OwPeHRmzH6D+o SkenwBEWvAv6ceH+eX3B25b99KcG0xel2t3Ch1g7OqYE4SnhFpweivNQwJfOwjjm 6LGIM2EjvU720aiNFe4QjL36m1Wosxijecq9qZQwQTIMX9rJOyjjhRITzEYwlfbQ C4yrYjpwMXA+IRUBA+r0or+g3azMzApbFjANpoHzsPk9Z657cLsiNOXGwCS4aFCt iAFfkmEbfrZ5iPRu0RzS =qolt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
