Why do you delete the application before you stop Tomcat? I would stop Tomcat and then delete the files. > rm -rf /usr/share/tomcat5/work/Catalina/localhost/application-1.1 > rm -rf /usr/share/tomcat5/conf/Catalina/localhost/application-1.1.xml > rm -rf /usr/share/tomcat5/webapps/application-1.1 > cp /home/admin/application-1.1.war /usr/share/tomcat5/webapps > /etc/init.d/tomcat5 start How does this even work? The first line of the script deletes /home/admin/application-1.1.war and the second-to-last line tries to copy it back. Shouldn't the file not even exist? ant has an optional task to allow you to (re-)deploy WAR files to a running Tomcat instance. This capability is probably inherited by Maven, which is how you heard about it. Maven is not required, though, so if you aren't using Maven, you don't have to. Are your servers sharing any remote-mounted filesystems over NFS or anything like that? I believe that Tomcat expands deployed WAR files to its local work directory, so you could potentially share WAR files over a network-mounted disk. Then, simply replace the WAR file on the network and all 60 of your Tomcat instances will auto-re-deploy if configured to do so. (I wouldn't recommend this for production, but that's just my own personal bias). - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGt1909CaO5/Lv0PARAvBhAKC5BQ8zYYV5WXdIWtLYL1ohhpAASgCeJcWZ RkB09fp89Z94g2cQ4RzLkUI= =AzeT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
