Hi, The current procrun from commons-daemon we use to run Tomcat as Windows service is not actively maintained any more.
I have created a SvcBatch project that uses different approach by running batch files as services. This means that instead complex configuration, one can use catalina.bat directly, enabling versatile customization For example to run Tomcat as service, put svcbatch.exe inside tomcat/bin and create tomcatsvc.bat (or whatever) file with the following content @echo off catalina.bat run Then install the service by typing in command prompt > sc create Tomcat start= auto DisplayName= "Apache Tomcat" binPath= ""%CD%\svcbatch.exe" tomcatsvc.bat" You can now start tomcat as a service by either typing > sc start Tomcat or > net start Tomcat or by using MMC Servcie GUI, etc. To get full java thread dump just enter > sc control Tomcat 233 Thread dump will end up inside tomcat/bin/Logs/SvcBatch.log Anyhow, here is the code with more docs (I know ... working on that) https://github.com/mturk/svcbatch I'd like to get community feedback on that project, and if proven useful we might consider using it as addon or replacement for procrun.
