On *nix, jsvc doesn't use the shutdown port (it has it's own signal handling to do a clean shutdown). On Windows, you need the shutdown port (so that anybody with physical access to the machine can shutdown the service by using the scripts). This is because tomcatN.exe doesn't keep a thread alive on it's own after starting Tomcat, so there are no non-daemon threads left and Tomcat shuts down. > Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
