I'm not 100% certain. I did... netstat -an|grep ":3057"|grep LISTEN ..and nothing came back. From that we at least know that the process was no longer listening on its assigned port. Then I *think* I did a 'ps' and the java process was actually not there, but now I'm not sure. > Do we know whether it was an orderly Tomcat shutdown or not? > Log messages in the Tomcat log files? I don't see anything in the logs other than the "shutdown" message I posted at the beginning of this thread. > deploy another webapp (needs write access to Tomcat > config or deployment area depending on config) > add a JSP which registers the hook when called (only > needs write access to some content directory on the > existing webapp) Those seem like my best two choices. -- Eric Robinson Disclaimer - July 28, 2010 This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for Tomcat Users List.
