I did see something like this, quite some time ago. Details differ a lot; the env was Tomcat 4.something, running on Solaris. However the symptoms did match: the Tomcat process just disappeared. What did help in our case was to wrap the startup in another layer of scripts which did redirect all the standard file descriptors to/from specified files (or /dev/null in case of standard input), and additionally start tomcat under "nohup" (protected from session hangup signal). What we suppose did happen: - admin started the tomcat (on a shell session) - the shell session was forgotten open, and the corresponding TCP connection later timed out at firewall - at some point some piece of code attempted to write to System.out or System.err, or read from System.in - this activity caused the machine TCP layer to notice that the TCP connection was not valid any longer, and so the shell from which Tomcat was started (and the Tomcat process, too) did get a hangup signal, causing both the shell and Tomcat to just stop and exit We could never positively prove the above, but that would suit the symptoms, and also the above would be something for which our cure would be effective. -- ..Juha --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
