I have already tried catalina stop in window where catalina start was fired and it closes the window showing startup log after showing closing log.

After couple of weeks struggling with Tomcat on Linux and Windows, Today I have got lot of knowledge about Tomcat basics by very kind ppl. Thanks a lot for that.
