No startup script in TOMCAT 5 ?

Hey.

I'm trying the latest version of TOMCAT but I miss the catalina.bat (I'm using windows) which allows to startup and shutdown the tomcat server.

All I'm left with is the tomcat5.exe, but I need a prompt based way to startup and shutdown TOMCAT.

Anyone has a clue? Is there a new script provided with TOMCAT5 ?

tomcat 5 installs as a service. You can find the services in the configuration panel under administrative tools. From there you can start and stop tomcat.

I have no doubt about what you say gimbal2, but I really need a command line to run and stop tomcat (for my IDE, IntelliJ). And I have no idea what to put in a .bat file to make it work.

you can use the commands "net start" and "net stop" to start and stop services. Say the service name is "apache tomcat", then you can start tomcat using:net start "apache tomcat"and you can stop it usingnet stop "apache tomcat"

note that the quotes are only required if the service name has a space in it.

That's cool, it works! Thank you.However, my IDE still seems unhappy with kind of startup, but I'll try to fix that.

bestam: Did you ever get tomcat 5 5 to startup and shutdown correctly with IDEA. I have the exact same issue. Tomcat seems to start but will not shut down correctly. Any help is appreciated
