Starting tomcat7w from batch file
Running TC 7.0.22 32-bit on windows server 2008 R2 Standard (64-bit).
I'm trying to start tomcat7w from a .cmd file to monitor the TC
services, and can't seem to find the correct way of formatting the
cmd-line parameters.
When I just copy the command line from the start menu shortcut, it tells
me I have a bad parameter. For example:
start "C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
7.0\bin\tomcat7w.exe" //MS//Small-55009
tells me "Invalid switch - "/".
Removing one of the leading slashes returns 'Invalid switch "/MS"'
I have tried it without the "start", and have tried removing one of the
leading slashes. I couldn't find anything in the TC online docs either.
What am I missing here?

I tested the solution above, and it worked for me.

Windows CMD.EXE basically does not handle the command-line: each
program handles it by itself, which is why quotes don't always work, etc.
I remember long ago trying to find out how to process wildcards on the
command-line from a C program, and the Borland C compiler actually
came with a library that you would just link-in and it would handle
the wildcard expansion in command-line parameters. It's colossally
stupid to have all client programs handle their own command-line
expansion, but that's what CMD.EXE and its predecessor COMMAND.COM
required. I believe it's a relic of having to operate in a very small
amount of RAM: not every program needs complicated wildcard expansion,
command-line parsing, etc. so the shell was made to be as slim as
possible.

It wouldn't help in this case, because you'd probably still want to
use the "start" program to launch your stuff. Using cygwin and &'ing a
process just means that you have to leave the shell sitting around to
avoid killing it. I'm not sure how a program like "nohup" actually
works on Windows, so I'm not convinced there's a good way to solve
David's problem -- using the "" trick is as good as any hack.

Judging by that thread though, there appears to be as many different suggestions as
people.. ;-)
Windows's CMD shell has so many quirks in general, that it is really hard to figure out
how it will handle a command-line.
It`s almost worth installing a Windows bash port just to avoid it.
Not that I've ever tried it though.

Yeah, what he said. In this usage, "Start" tells a windows batch file
to start the specified program and continue on, rather than waiting for
it to finish, as it would if you started it with "call" or with just the
program name. I'm trying to have a single batch file start the various
tomcat7w instances for the TC services, rather than having to create a
shortcut for each one and copy it into the startup group.
You're thinking of the "net start..." command, which does start a service.

Nope, it's a kind of "do it" program that allows you to launch

Next guess then : the "monitor" tomcat7w.exe is not itself a Service, it is just an

Doesn't "start" refer to Services only ?

Did you try :
start "C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\bin\tomcat7w.exe
//MS//Small-55009"
You might also try searching Google for "windows cmd quoting rules"
And are you sure that it is tomcat7w.exe that must be started, not tomcat7.exe ?

Hmmm. I had forgotten about that option. That would be easy to fit
into my initial configuration script too...
Thanks for the suggestion!

You can also copy/rename tomcat7w.exe to small-55009w.exe and you won't need any params.
