Hi, Suma 1. You can disable listening on port 8005, by specifying port="-1" in your server.xml, but your "Stop" command passed to Bootstrap.main() will stop working: the bootstrap will not be able to connect to the running Tomcat instance to shutdown it. I do not think that "start" and "stop" will run TC in daemon mode. Supposedly the "startd", "stopd" commands will do (as I see, looking into the sources of Bootstrap.main()), if the both or your calls are made to the same JVM instance. 2. You may change 8005 to some other, non-standard, value. 3. You may change the shudown command in your server.xml, to be some random secret string. 4. Tomcat binds 8005 port only to the localhost address. It does not accept any connections from the outside. 5. You did not bother to mention what Tomcat version you are using. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
