net stop *should* work if Tomcat is installed as a service - is it? If so, it should be

net stop tomcat

(assuming the name of the service is 'tomcat' [have a look in Administrator Tools in the gui])

 

by: knightEknightPosted on 2009-10-30 at 08:47:31ID: 25704118

use:  net start     and     net stop

To see the help screen, do this:  net start /?

 

by: CEHJPosted on 2009-10-30 at 08:48:02ID: 25704127

(iow, it would never be 'net stop java')

 

by: jandersonwidenerPosted on 2009-10-30 at 09:22:46ID: 25704483

jetty is used NOT Tomcat No Apache No IIS just jetty
not net stop does NOT work

 

by: CEHJPosted on 2009-10-30 at 09:24:37ID: 25704512

What did you use as the command?

 

by: jandersonwidenerPosted on 2009-10-30 at 09:29:43ID: 25704572

net stop java

 

by: jandersonwidenerPosted on 2009-10-30 at 09:30:01ID: 25704576

that returns an error "The specified service does not exist as an installed service."

 

by: CEHJPosted on 2009-10-30 at 09:31:41ID: 25704591

If you've installed Jetty as a service then you need to use its service name

 

by: jandersonwidenerPosted on 2009-10-30 at 11:05:29ID: 25705423

The web server AND Java are contained in the service. If the service stops any Java processes created by it will stop too
