Hi, This is what I have done: 1) use shutdown.sh to shut down tomcat 2) Now the website appears to be down 3) Use ps -ef | grep tomcat to check the processes, tomcat still appears to be running: > ps -ef | grep tomcat root 21892 1 1 14:30 pts/21 00:00:17 /local/Java/bin/java -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/opt/jakarta-tomcat/common/endorsed -classpath /local/Java/lib/tools.jar:/opt/jakarta-tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/opt/jak arta-tomcat/bin/commons-logging-api.jar -Dcatalina.base=/opt/jakarta-tomcat -Dcatalina.home=/opt/jakarta-tomcat -Djava.io.tmpdir=/opt/jakarta-tomcat/temp org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start 4) use startup.sh to start tomcat 5) website appears to be up and running again 6) check the processes, now there are 2 tomcats running:

I'm running Tomcat 5.0.28 on SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9. Java version: 1.5.0_03. Thank you in advance, Elaine
