Good morning, Yes, it was "random occasions where Tomcat appears not to re-start ".
Finally we have excluded from McAfee scanning : Tomcat7.exe, Java.exe and .zip files. As the launched application is Java opening a 3.5 Go .zip file surely the server was too busy to launch Tomcat and scan all that. Everything has worked fine for the last 2 days ;) Thanks for the help.

So the service starts randomly (spontaneously), or there are random occasions where Tomcat appears not to re-start after the scheduled stop/start dance? It sounds like the latter. Anything in the log files indicating that Tomcat even /tried/ to start? > Do you know if there is specifics problems between Tomcat and McAfee?

The filename can be changed in the service runner, so the file does not necessarily have a predictable name. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJTsrwCAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYIz8QAK3Z5+/7KQdSvtGKNuAC8+Zb 27FCOb6yQfE1YgYW0bw7GFER49asPis1WSBi/NzTPFVlnoaq3WUB+jUyASUtWZj6 pLllaVgHP2TSAQd90K6MJb83Iva+Oszas85jR2H/eNAitJRD0u3YePkllF+bBkPb yI8pGY4qWkCCV+0m/cdscaj4EmzH0cI7HIc0fvxQw4aluDXmcDi8WoyEU2WV95wW 30h82BUs4aeuUb7LY6v+HNfwqPfhbiiPVhRW7q0u17PXk/FCOhIfLLG31FaYqpkO Md56Sbh4xQ6KRSTSZG19Kls18LxM0qcHHk5CZtUtuBryk1PlcdMvKq9G/dDjUT5W dKPs6nff/Cg/0O/16mMTp7HsxZl8choBUPy/hXAD4hyPWM5FPweGmGSg0rF1dhH2 M8v76Cdl2uwjuXlLH6qD6wmTEKh+00n1eGLLYTOX4bOGPS1+ugtdnD/NM1R7ean3 77kO5st+w2X/NeziBzhPNW9QJ1UJ7fGE/wZjR5U8aj/+XulUpTY9uoqi6TisBLvt nP4JAXsh+SosCFK3NJgECJ02dMwbgnE5Dnk0g4uZ708MxotZQYNY71l1qJMCRHhz cuRgywJF14suO3UhYVcgbsmO3uFchrf4bZFXk5m8UeIbzJytgZbvCnjo61FuTHz3 VOM85Bsk81WU5MQpL2Vu =wBcZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org Please consider the environment before printing this email or its attachment(s).
