Update path of executeable of a tomcat windows service
Hello,
I am using tomcat as a windows service and want to update the path of
executeable during my automated process via command line.
The Reason why I dont want to deinstall / install the service is, that I
want to keep the other informations like service user etc.
I have a tomcat 7 service (should work for all tomcat versions if possible)
and want to update it with the following command:
tomcat8 //US//TestService --DisplayName="TestService2" ^
--Install="..\Tomcat\x64\bin\tomcat8.exe"
The DisplayName is updated, install is not.
Is it even possible to change the path of executeable via tomcat?
Thanks for reading and your time.

You can actually change the binPath as suggested[1] like this:
sc config<service name> binPath=<binary path>
Also you need administrative rights for the edit.

I'm not sure about using a tomcat utility to do that, but I believe you
can use the windows SC command to modify this setting.
