I am not running as a windows service just started from startup.bat. I have a couple of tomcats running as a windows service and I am familiar with the tomcat.exe the docs were a bit hard to get through and I had to read through some of the C code for the tomcat windows launcher to really figure it out.
My question was more from a design perspective why did the tomcat developers include this shutdown port mechanism what are the benefits and what limitations were they trying to work around when they came up with this design.
