Try using shutdown.sh and startup.sh to start and stop Tomcat. Walter
-----Original Message----- From: Antonio Parolini [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 04, 2008 2:54 AM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Graceful shutdown Hello, We use Tomcat 5.5.23 Using the command "catalina.sh stop" interrupts abruptly any working servlet threads and stop Tomcat. Is there a way of shutting tomcat gracefully? For me, an example of graceful shutdown would be: 1) The HTTP connector stop accepting new requests 2) Tomcat wait that all the servlet threads finish (without interrupting them as it does today) 3) Shutdown the server Thanks for your advises, Antonio NB: I've seen that jk2 connector did something about this, but we are not using Apache as our front end. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Graceful-shutdown-tp18274673p18274673.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
