Re: [Wrapper-user] How Does One... Remotely Restart a JVM

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Daniel,
    In addition to Sal's suggestion of the JMX server, you might also 
want to take a look
at the WrapperActionServer.  It is not quite as fancy, but it will allow 
you to request
a restart, thread dump etc, via telnet with just a few lines of code.

Cheers,
Leif
