public class CatalinaService
extends Catalina

Startup/Shutdown shell program for Catalina. The following command line options are recognized:

- -config {pathname} - Set the pathname of the configuration file to be processed. If a relative path is specified, it will be interpreted as relative to the directory pathname specified by the "catalina.base" system property. [conf/server.xml]
- -help - Display usage information.
- -stop - Stop the currently running instance of Catalina.

Special version of the Catalina bootstrap, designed to be invoked with JNI, and designed to allow easier wrapping by system level components, which would otherwise be confused by the asychronous startup and shutdown Catalina uses. This class should be used to run Catalina as a system service under Windows NT and clones.
