Your problem is that you are stopping tomcat, which shuts down the jvm,
and then you are trying to start it again. Because the jvm has exited, it
never starts it again.
I'm not sure if this will work, but you could do a system exec that forks
into another process, and sleeps for a bit (long enough for tomcat to shut
down) before starting tomcat. once you've started that system.exec, then
shut tomcat down, and (I'm not sure if this will work) the forked process
will then start tomcat after its sleep...
just a thought.
