H,

Mind that tomcat manager is a web application that is running on tomcat as the rest of the applications.
So when you start tomcat, the tomcat-manager is available just like any other application. There i no way to start it individually

Hi bathory,

Code:

wget "http://<username>:<password>@<hostname>:<port>/manager/undeploy?path=/<context path>" -O - -q

using this command i can able to stop , start , reload everything i can able to do once i start the tomcat , now i have some doubt guru.

1. Is this is a secure way using wget to start, stop, reload the application.??

2. or is there any options available to start the tomcat manager using terminal ??

Please guide me guys!! to solve this thread.

1. This is a good way to start/stop, deploy/undeploy applications from command line, i.e you cannot use the web interface
2. The manager application starts when you start tomcat and of course you cannot stop it, because otherwise you won't be able to manage the other applications running on the server. There is no other way to start the manager application standalone
Take a look at the documentation to see how the manager application works

As a previous poster mentioned, the Tomcat manager is automatically started when the Tomcat server is brought up. You can start/stop Tomcat by changing directory to $CATALINA_HOME/bin and running the 'startup.sh' and 'shutdown.sh' scripts. These will start/shutdown Tomcat cleanly.
