Hi Tek, Why are you using cygwin? I mean, I know the Windows command line sucks, but you are not "using" it with tomcat, you are basically just starting the tomcat main class with it. So there is not need for an advanced shell as far as I can see.

Probably this doesn't work using cygwin. I recommend using startup.bat on windows and startup.sh when using unix. At least as long as you are not the ultimate cygwin crack who knows how to debug shell scripts and find a workaround here. Addition: The problem cease to exists if "startup.sh run" whould pass on the run parameter to catalina.sh, which - at least in the .bat version - it doesn't do, though IMHO it should... Addition 2: Try using "catalina.sh run" instead of startup, this does not open a new window (look at startup.sh first to see what it does before calling catalina.sh and include this to catalina.sh if needed) Hope that helps, Alexander -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
