I have a slightly different system than you do for Windows: Windows XP/Professional Avast! 6.0.1203 JRE 1.6.0_26 JDK 1.6.0_23 Tomcat 6.0.29 One installation from the .exe One installation from the zip file NetBeans 6.9.1 I need to do some updating. > The fact that the last character is chewed up somehow made me go back to an > initial theory that something is intercepting the shutdown command before > Tomcat > receives it.

I started and stopped Tomcat cleanly while Avast! was running: Tomcat as a service Tomcat from the DOS command line Tomcat from the Cygwin bash command line (complains about PATH syntax, but otherwise fine) Tomcat from NetBeans 6.9.1 > > Must be something with Avast and Windows 7 or corrupted installation.

I wonder if there is anything in the Avast! reports that would be useful. I'm not sure where they would be on Windows 7, but on XP they are in: All Users\Application Data\Alwil Software\Avast5\report Change the 5 to 6 if you've not upgraded from 5 to 6 (like I have). If you find something, you might post it to the Avast! forums to get a work around or get them to fix the bug. It would certainly be useful for those of us who are staying on Avast!. Glad you have it working. just my two cents . . . . /mde/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
