Leo, If you use the Windows installer that the foundation thoughtfully provides, you'll see that the installer actually renames the executables to whatever you put in the "Windows Service Name" field. So, if you use it to install one instance with the service name "Prod", then in the bin directory, you will have Prod.exe and Prodw.exe. If you second instance uses the service name "Dev", then the bin directory will have Dev.exe and Devw.exe. And when you go to look for those processes using Task Manager, or Process Explorer, or whatever tool you use, they will actually show up as those names. No more trying to figure out which Tomcat.exe is which.
