Windows Service Start Fails at Command Line

[Bill Rebey <bi...@isirona.com>]

Using 6.35 of Tomcat, the line "tomcat6.exe //RS//Tomcat6" fails to start Tomcat.

It tries, but it stops very early with this in the "commons-daemon-<date>.log" file:

[2012-02-04 20:50:32] [info]  Commons Daemon procrun (1.0.7.0 32-bit) started
[2012-02-04 20:50:32] [info]  Running 'Tomcat6' Service...
[2012-02-04 20:50:47] [info]  Run service finished.
[2012-02-04 20:50:47] [error] Commons Daemon procrun failed with exit value: 4 (Failed to run service)
[2012-02-04 20:50:47] [error] The service process could not connect to the service controller.

Any thoughts?

That's as expected; the //RS option is only for use by the Windows service manager.  If you want to start the service from the command line, use:

    net start Tomcat6

or

    tomcat6w //MR//Tomcat6

The latter will also place the Tomcat monitor into the system tray.
