Thanks for the info. I set my TOMCAT_HOME (/usr/java/jakarta-tomcat4.0.4) and JAVA_HOME (/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0_01) env variables as needed to run these commands. The commands appear to now run fine (startup for instance will list 4 env variables it is apparently referenceing - CATALINA_BASE, CATALINA_HOME, CATALINA_TMPDIR, JAVA_HOME) and control is returned to the shell ... but Tomcat still isn't returning any pages to my browser. It was working fine before I restarted the server. :-\
Any thoughts? Thanks.

If you want Tomcat to start when the system comes up (or, to use some jargon, enters the proper "run level") you should find someone at your site who's familiar with Linux configuration. This can be handled manually, by editing startup and shutdown files in /etc/rc.d or, on many modern Linux systems, by using a GUI front-end to those configuration files. However, there are several variants on the underlying scheme and the tools that expose it, so it's not feasible to instruct you on the details from what you've told us (i.e., simply that you're using Linux). Good luck. Randall Schulz Mountain View, CA USA At 22:04 2002-08-25, neal wrote: >How do you start and shutdown Tomcat on Linux? > >I'm (obvioulsy) a windows person.
