Thank you all for responding to my post.
Unfortunately, i did not find any Ant task or unix utility which will allow
me to solely STOP Tomcat remotely from a windows client. Is there such a
utility? My unix Admin gave me full sudo access and STILL...when I try to
stop tomcat, I'm prompted for sudo's passwrd. So my full automation from
windows side to deployment on the unix/linux side is basically hacked &
clobbered.
We're a windows/java shop serving client apps on our linux servers running
Tomcat.
I'm running Anthill and everything's automated to be pushed nightly to the
unix side, however, since I have no way of stopping Tomcat remotely to
deploy, I'm opting for a unix cron job to detect my war file, stop tomcat,
deploy, and restart tomcat.
This is kiddy-coding and not very elegant and I'm not very happy with how
I've run into dead-end walls at every turn. Any ideas, solutions? Thanks a
million.

Your unix admin should be able to configure sudo to only allow you to
execute the commands to stop and start tomcat. And with the permissions set
correctly on the start and stop scripts there is no security risk. It's not
like you are asking for root privileges.
