Closing Ports

[Robert Romito]

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".

Thanks!
