ListenExec listens on a port and executes commands when called.
It is written in Java, and should run under any Java-capable OS.
The original design goal was a means to restart Tomcat, from Tomcat.
(ListenExec was created as a proof-of-concept, inspired by a tomcat-user
mailing list thread 'Tomcat "reboot" runtime' from May 2004).
The latest ListenExec alpha/POC release is available at:
http://downloads.brandxdev.net/tomcat-479785/
There's also a readme doc at that URL for the curious.
Improvements in this version:
- ListenExec now runs as a daemon process, thanks to the Jakarta
Commons Daemon project. Building and running ListenExec thus
requires Commons Daemon.
- the protocol is taking shape (transparent if you use only the
RestartServlet)
- misc code cleanups
Please note the following:
- The demo wepapp doesn't require authentication to access the restart
servlet, so you'd do yourself a favor to test it in an isolated
container.
- the JSPs in the demo app are not precomiled; please access them
directly before attempting to use the the restart feature via
the webapp.
