systray gadget to start stop tomcat


I'd like to know if anybody knows of any systray applet to control tomcat service con windows xp...

apache installs its own, and there's one for mysql in the mysql gui tools...

so the only one I'm missing is tomcat...

thanks a lot


Solution

  • Tomcat (from version 5.5 onwards at least) should come with a Monitor Tomcat option. It should be within the start menu for Tomcat. Add it to the start up programmes if you want it to start each time.

    Some information is at: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/windows-service-howto.html

    The programme address is as follows for my machine (XP):

    "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\bin\tomcat5w.exe" //MS//Tomcat5
