Hi experts, I have found the solution to this problem. The problem is when we start a tomcat in solaris from a user shell (like telnet) , then when the shell quits, the tomcat might get stopped. The bourne shell gives the shutdown signal when the shell quits, to kill the tomcat process. The solution to this problem is we should start/stop tomcat using C-shell. Inside C-shell we need to start the tomcat. At lost, after a good struggle to find this...it seems that it is working (continously) fine now.
Please let me know if you have any comments. Thanks all. Thanks to Martin, Cosio, David, Alireza. Thanks to all experts. Thanks and regards, Arunan On 7/20/06, Martin Gainty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
