A few questions

The answer to these questions are quite possibly annoyingly obvious, but 
I haven't been able to find them in the User Guide.

1. What is the proper way of shutting down tomcat? I start it with what 
I have found in the user guide:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.13
/u01/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.26/bin/jsvc \
  -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/u01/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.26/common/endorsed \
  -cp /u01/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.26/bin/bootstrap.jar -outfile \
  /u01/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.26/logs/catalina.out -errfile \
  /u01/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.26/logs/catalina.err \
  org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap

This works fine, but when I kill the process and try to restart, it 
won't - it complains:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina

Why does that happen? And how can I avoid it?

2. On the "front page", when I get the server to run, there is a link to 
an administration package that I am supposed to download from somewhere. 
Is there a standard place to find these things?

I'm not sure how you're exactly stopping tomcat and when you are restarting Tomcat if it's 
starting the same way as if it was first started but here are a couple of tips I could think of.

Try to use the Tomcat5.sh script that jsvc comes with (when you extract the src for jsvc it 
comes with startup scripts in the "native" directory.

When restarting maybe one of your env vars is getting trashed, try to determine the value of 
CATALINA_HOME.

Yes,
