Services to start and stop Tomcat
843838Jul 18 2007 — edited Jul 19 2007I have Tomcat 4.1.27 on a Windows 2000 Server where the startup.bat doesnt work and I have to startup the container using the Windows Services tool. The server also doesnt show any Tomcat console window so I can see what is happening.
The startup.bat just pulls up a window real quick and it disappears and the container never starts up. The shutdown.bat does shut down the container but I use the Server Services to shutdown the container when needed.
Please advise if this is normal and anyway to change it to how I have it in my local develper environment. In my local developer env, I use startup.bat and shutdown.bat and see Tomcat console window after it is started up and the console window stays up so I can view it.
