Hi Rajamani, If you want to run as a service, but still see a console, one solution is to use the "tail" command.
This is available on Linux systems, and there is also a port for Windows systems. Tail lets you 'watch' a log file, so you would open a console which runs the tail command, pointing at the catalina log file you want to watch. Each time the file is updated, the text appears in the window, exactly like when you run from startup.bat. Hope that helps, Neale Rudd metawerx java hosting http://www.metawerx.net ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
