Controlling Tomcat Service From Ant

Is there anyway to effectively start or stop the Tomcat 5.5 windows 
service from within Ant?

I tried

      <exec dir="${tomcat.bin}" executable="tomcat5.exe">
            <arg line="//SS//Tomcat5"/>
      </exec>

but it produces an error message (although it works) and I don't know 
what the corresponding command would be to restart the service. Is there 
some standard way to accomplish this?

Thanks,

JWS

Yes, if your service  name is "tomcat" you can do something similar to
the following:

  <exec dir="${src}" executable="cmd.exe" os="Windows 2000"
output="dir.txt">
    <arg line="/c net start tomcat"/>
  </exec> 

  <exec dir="${src}" executable="cmd.exe" os="Windows 2000"
output="dir.txt">
    <arg line="/c net stop tomcat"/>
  </exec> 

Check out the Ant "exec" task documentation.
