Janne, When running Tomcat as a Windows service it will appear in the task manager as - for instance - "Tomcat5.exe". For each instance I use to rename the Tomcat executable to the instance name, so to distinguish between them easily. Note that you will have to change a bit the service installer batch. You can then run or schedule a batch that does a "net stop servicename" first and then a kill, you never know. The kill command is in the Support Tools kit.
By the way, I just discovered that the Windows service installer installs Tomcat without the juli LogManager, so you will have to copy a line from the catilina.bat/sh to enable it. Hope it helps, b. ----- Original Message ----- From: "jimpo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <users@tomcat.apache.org> Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2007 10:10 AM Subject: Killing tomcat java process, Windows > > I run two separate tomcat 6 instances on my development environment.
