I reinstalled Tomcat using the ServiceCfg tool mentioned previously and badda boom badda bing! No more creeping memory loss, at least not over the past several hours. I set some limits on memory usage etc. Am now trying to determine what exactly, I have to pass as parameters to the tomcat.exe service installation tool.
I feel like I am missing something obvious, when you install the Tomcat service with the provided tomcat.exe what happens to all the JVM parameters? Are they set in the registry? Environment, where? But, I can at last see daylight again! Thanks to all for your help!

It is simply run as a batch script, or as part of an install (you execute tomcat.exe once with the relevant parameters to install it) Pete "Robert Porter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03/08/2003 18:01 Please respond to "Tomcat Users List" To: "'Tomcat Users List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: RE: Tomcat 4.1x running as NT Service Issue Found that while googling my issue, it looks very promising, but I need something we can include in a custom setup that will be run by users. Although that tool will help in testing! Seen anything like it for deploying webapps? -----Original Message----- From: Tim Funk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 03, 2003 11:52 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Tomcat 4.1x running as NT Service Issue If you need to run NT as a service, use this tool to set it up.
