[Opensource] Tomcat shutdown and release pool connections

[John Mitchell]

Hi Alex,

I do not remember this post so could you paste the original
problem and whatever I gave as a solution too.  I do use
a .bat file to shutdown my tomcat.  I created a shortcut
with the following Target: C:\tomcat\bin\shutdown.bat

I never have a problem with this and it does seem to shutdown
nicely.  I use the following Target to start tomcat: 
C:\tomcat\bin\catalina.bat run > out.txt

Note:    Getting Tomcat to start can sometimes be a little tiring, 
especially because when you use startup.bat, Catalina will open in a new 
DOS-Box, and if it does not start, this DOS-Box will be
closed immediately, making it impossible to read any error messages.
Tip: use "catalina.bat run" instead of "startup.bat" until you get Tomcat 
running correctly, this won't open a new DOS-Box.

feel free to respond to this email,

hope this helps,
Scott Mitchell
