No, once the service had been configured the environment variables don't mean anything. So, if you set CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE and then call service.bat (which installs the service) then you can start/stop the service whatever way you want and it will remember those settings. You can set up any number of services and operate them independently without doing anything with the environment. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJT96tjAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYoJEP/21VbIBVtIWXddvs/IkKoCTF KrWHc6zTnOHS2WkSH+ymnsPnNYkIAM5WPjMi3HLF7mq49yJrKFfrETkA+ZpTQv2i fHNtGW6XoRnj2vzIC/H6+WmrX64x967tSNmBYVmL9YIb3S3SA499x7x2S1vt7p9Q 38knuk6tx3XMFtcxLDvbssxa75czs9FFx4uz11ctTENxKY73nIEXrWw0DM+Q6ZP2 XIshZTSAZ4bcwrDdjeaSI9TZE5+bjzpkO+YbPu7FPPCeTR50IcfoKe4BPKPuPWQw zO0Tri2HLuBq1XMUajYYmpHrgc+5qGytrbJLlKr4V0Bz2GImXncYL/QBzbjQforR M0iGnHGR+mtmELb3bRW9/ouMPYXLYztennySGFEvx19RY3iqWUXj91739gOooglc OIjoMcA2gDq2zg3RY9KMXo9quCUshNorP55IgD6gh/6aOn9GCUG7APmE6QP+4KHf 5VY5hXV9H8gndrUvHgcwJ+LIKUgBMcpP49i3ol+1yKO8s5dswybu299vQ19W1Csc L96Ymb6AwHjMcblWDFMrwgBU2SmeExJNyIl49CwLkgcXpldxLJibUDLe2LhaRcl3 RE4m03db85MENnAX8cbsXDEqM+kSMpqUXpQ4l4kQy7Q8bwLSixrGhqpPifJTB3gy NS3BueBGNeqrixOm8SvL =wP0G -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
