Hi Experts, Running Tomcat 7.0.54 on Windows 2012 Our morning process is to fire a stop of the Tomcat Windows Service and then an immediate restart. This is more due to the 3rd party application that is running with Tomcat than a problem with Tomcat. A few weeks ago it started to not cleanly stop when using the following batch file command. Note that this had worked for more than a year with no problems and I don't think that there have been any server changes although I don't control the machine
net stop "Apache Tomcat 7.0 TPMDEV" && net start "Apache Tomcat 7.0 TPMDEV" I then changed the batch file, that calls the Windows Service stop/start to give a 65 second delay between the stop and start hoping to give it more time to cleanly stop before restarting: ==== net stop "Apache Tomcat 7.0 TPMDEV" PING localhost -n 65 >NUL net start "Apache Tomcat 7.0 TPMDEV" ==== This modified batch file worked for about 2 weeks but then this morning it failed to stop and restart correctly. Since it is PRD we just have to get it restarted so I usually don't have time to troubleshoot getting threads, etc. (also, the off shore team is on shift when this happens but I'm the administrator that actually has to get to root cause when I start my shift). I observed the following in the std-output log it seems to receive the Shutdown command but it seems like either all of the threads are not being closed for some reason Mar 14, 2019 5:28:00 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer await INFO: A valid shutdown command was received via the shutdown port. Stopping the Server instance.

As mentioned it is hard for me to get one because I'm usually not on shift when this happens.
