well next time....
Luckily i got the problem solved - all sites are now back up. i removed
tomcat55 instance from subsys using rm command
Rm /var/lock/subsys/tomcat55 and did a reboot, restarted tomcat55 and voila!
Cheers and thanks,

No, you did not.
There are many versions of Tomcat 5.5. The precise version is important.
There are many versions of RedHat Linux. The precise version is important.
And the log message which you mentioned is a not a Tomcat log message.
Errors specific to Tomcat are (under Linux, usually) in /var/log/* or /var/log/tomcat55/*.
The more /precise/ information you supply, the better/quicker you will get help.
It also saves a lot of time to the people trying to help, and that is important, as they
are all busy people, who do this on their own time.

Hi Andre',
as you will, i am trying to get all the help i can get from any source,
reason i indicated the OS type and tomcat version and the log errors!!
i could chance on someone who has used a similar combination and encountered
a similar problem.-
thanks for laboring to reply all the same - i will definitely try your
leads.
Cheers,
Simon

Hi.
I think that for this issue, you would get better/quicker help from a Linux admin forum.
I am not trying to brush you off, but this looks like an issue having to do with the way
recent versions of Linux manage "services", rather than with Tomcat itself.
The expertise of the people on this list is with Tomcat itself, rather than with all the
different ways in which different OS-es manage such "services".
This being said, if you have problems finding out why Tomcat died in the first place, then
this would be the right list to ask.
But then, provide :
- the Tomcat version (x.y.z)
- the Java version
- the (full) OS and version
- the lines in the Tomcat log files that are relevant
(this can be in /var/log/tomcat55/*.log, or /var/log/daemon, or similar places (also
depending on the OS))
