Starting or stopping Tomcat (UNIX)

To start or stop Tomcat on a UNIX system:

  1. Start the Tomcat server.
    Go to the <Tomcat>/bin folder. Run this command:

    $ sh startup.sh

  2. Stop the Tomcat server.
    Go to the <Tomcat>/bin folder. Run this command:

    $ sh shutdown.sh

    You can also stop the server, though less gracefully, by killing the corresponding job.
