And... if you are writing a java program do to this for you, such as a UI, then you'll need to essentially reverse this to start it. PID's idea to connect to the port to send the shutdown command will work for shutting it down, but to start it back up... you'll still need to do Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...) to get it going again from within the Java UI.

To stop the Tomcat-related Windows Service, there are two methods : a) use the "Services" applet of Windows (e.g. "My Computer" --> Manage --> Services and Applications --> Services --> Apache Tomcat 6), right-click and choose "Stop service" b) in a command window, use the command net stop "Apache Tomcat 6" II) If Tomcat is not running as a Windows Service, but in a command window, then : a) if you have started Tomcat with the command "startup.bat", then a separate command window was opened to run Tomcat. In that case, you have 2 choices to stop Tomcat : a-1) in the same window where you started Tomcat with the command "startup.bat", enter the command "shutdown.bat". a-2) in the command window where Tomcat is running, enter CTRL-C b) if you have started Tomcat with the command "catalina.bat run", then Tomcat runs directly in the Window where you entered this command. To stop it, type CTRL-C. c) in any of the cases (a) or (b) above, the other methods indicated in the previous messages will work also. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
