That has to be the only difference. "catalina start" command is what is written in startup.(sh|bat) There are cases, when configuration is broken, so that Tomcat cannot start. In that case it might be that the secondary console window will close immediately, and the user won't be able to see the error message that was printed there. If that occurs, our first advice is to try "catalina run" so to be able to see the error message. That is why the option is there, I think. By the way, it is not necessary to use catalina.(bat|sh) at all. The command line that starts java using bootstrap.jar is that what matters in the end. I think you can figure the rest by yourself.
