>Just out of curiosity, why do you bounce Tomcat every night? We backup our database that the web application interfaces with. We stop our listener after we bounce it and put a maintenance page out. Our application gives a 'System Error Detected' to the user if we don't do things in the right order. I suppose I could just copy the maintenance page and not bounce it.... I did have a delay, but then we switched scripts for a different problem. I will try going back to the old script now because that problem is resolved. I hope. Thanks.

So, you can't just do "shutdown.sh" followed by "startup.sh" and expect a clean server bounce. The quick fix is to introduce some delay between the shutdown and startup. The problem is, it might not take a predictable amount of time to shutdown, so you can't just guess at 5 seconds and leave it at that. The best thing to do would be to watch catalina.out for the "shutdown" message that Tomcat emits as it goes down, and /then/ call startup.sh. Honestly, if you're already comfortable bouncing Tomcat every night, you can probably just introduce an arbitrary delay between invoking scripts and be fine. Just out of curiosity, why do you bounce Tomcat every night? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org ( http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ ) iD8DBQFGvM1+9CaO5/Lv0PARAkNmAJ41+SQAwk3qhjVWGUn1ePWWnRhV4wCcDsbT ZA3mjT3gTNF+DhDJPyjm4aM= =7tQ6 -----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]
