I'm not an Ubuntu person, although I think there are people on the list who are. Did you follow this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/tomcat.html If so, did you set up a private instance to run when you log on? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup Did you stop and disable the service before uninstalling? Again, I'm not an Ubuntu person so I'm probably not the person to ask. /mde/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
