I'm not sure how you're exactly stopping tomcat and when you are restarting 
Tomcat if it's 
starting the same way as if it was first started but here are a couple of tips 
I could think of.

Try to use the Tomcat5.sh script that jsvc comes with (when you extract the src 
for jsvc it 
comes with startup scripts in the "native" directory.

When restarting maybe one of your env vars is getting trashed, try to determine 
the value of 
CATALINA_HOME.

Yes,
