Occasionally we need to recycle Tomcat and the only way the administrator has found which works is to delete the lock file for Tomcat and then start Tomcat. I have to believe that there is a more elegant way to do it. What I should have said is that the administrator has to delete the lock file manually in order to recycle Tomcat ONLY WHEN TOMCAT HAS CRASHED. The administrator has also told me "While there is a restart available it does not work correctly. Essentially it tries to start Tomcat before it is finished stopping it. I can recycle Tomcat by stopping then waiting about a minute then starting Tomcat. Again, as long as Tomcat was running this works fine." I would also love to be able to recycle Tomcat remotely. I am remote from the server but have access to it from SSH, which gives me a secure command line to the server. Can anyone help with suggestions for either problem?
