Thanks for the tip. The -ww flag did the trick. Tomcat wasn't crashing
after all. When I did ps -aux | grep java, the "java" string was so far
into the command name that ps didn't output it. Therefore, grep didn't find
"java" and I thought the process had crashed. With -ww, ps outputed enough
characters to include the "java".<br>

Thanks!<br>

<pre wrap="">You need to kill the process that is still binding to the port. Tomcat
might still be running in the background (or a dead process is resident).
Doing a `ps -auxwww | grep $1` (where $1 is the tomcat executable) will
help track down the process.

<pre wrap="">Hi.
Does anyone know of a command to close an open port?
I've been playing with Tomcat. When I start Tomcat, it opens the port
it's configured for and then crashes without closing the port. Tomcat
complains that the port is already open the next time I try to start it.
Thanks for the help.
