Thanks for the reply, Out of interest the man page for jps states: NOTE: This utility is unsupported and may not be available in future versions of the JDK. It is not currently available on Windows 98 and Windows ME platforms.
This might just be a entry that has not been removed... and the utility is supported... and available in future versions. -----Original Message----- From: Pid [mailto:p...@pidster.com] Sent: 03 December 2009 17:37 To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Re: How to get java process id of a user running tomcat On 03/12/2009 17:09, gerhardus.geldenh...@gta-travel.com wrote: > Hi > Me being the one who made the ridiculous suggestion of using ps, am now > enlightened and will be using jps -mlv and spreading the word... > > That being said is there any opinions about the soundness of using the > Redhat/Centos startup/shutdown script for Tomcat? No idea how it works, but presumably it was written to shutdown the server, ergo it should be reasonable to use it as intended. If Tomcat doesn't stop, find out why. p ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
