Hi, thanks for replying, my application will take some data from a website and insert this data into a database and i schedule the application to do this every hour using contextlistener and timertask as a java servlet. At the moment it starts updating the database as soon as i upload the application to the server, I need a way to shutdown the server so it will stop updating the database
