You can do it, but you do kind of have to have your attention on the
screen. I have an ssh client on my smartphone for this purpose, but
it's of limited use because sudo requires a password I do *not* have.

You can also tether your laptop to your phone and do just about anything
.

I don't think of anything specific that does this kind of thing, but
it does sound a little dangerous and also a little fragile. Do you
have just a single Tomcat instance? Perhaps a better use of your time
would be to re-work your environment so that you have some redundancy
at the Tomcat level.

You don't even need any additional hosts if you have enough resources
(e.g. memory). Just split your Tomcat installation into CATALINA_HOME
and a pair of CATALINA_BASE structures and run the applications
concurrently, side-by-side. You will need distinct port numbers for
each instance.

Configure the reverse proxy to load-balance between the two instances.
It's up to you to decide if you want to set up clustering and that
other stuff. But simple sticky-sessions (the default) should get you a
lot of mileage.
