Rainer, Thank you for your input. I send you another e-mail but it looks like you didn't get. I tried to use apachectl graceful after updating my worker.properties files. The only problem is that it must be done as root (because of the port 80). So my cgi perl script running in apache to automatically update the worker.properties does not work when I add a system command to gracefully restart apache. I even tried to add the httpd user (nobody) for example in the sudoers file as NOPASSWORD, but it did not work either.
Any suggestion would be much appreciated, I really need to make that work a way or an other to manage my zillion tomcat instances :) Thank you.
