Leo, you probably confused two: netstat and ps commands. ps -ef | grep <port_number> would work only if you provide port number on the command line of your program, and that's not the case in default out-of-box Tomcat (uses server.xml to define port numbers) I would suggest: ps -ef | grep java would output the command line of all Java processes, and Tomcat is one of them. note the process id (PID) for your specific tomcat process and then try killing the process, e.g. kill <PID> kill -9 <PID> I prefer looking at netstat, as I might have multiple Tomcat instances running, so I want to know exactly which one I want to "kill" ... Netstat behaves differently on different OS. This is what I typically use when troubleshooting my tomcat instances (knowing that it runs on port 8080): netstat -aon | findstr 8080 (windows) netstat -vatpn | grep 8080 (linux) lsof -i TCP | grep 8080 (mac) So, to further troubleshoot your problem - we need: 1) server.xml (as Chuck pointed out - without comments) 2) startup logfile 3) output of netstat (lsof) after the tomcat startup Good luck!
