Normally you want to run background processes on NT as services. Tomcat doesn't run as a service - (I'm not sure if there are plans to do this in the future - it would be nice) but there is a tool you can use in the NT4 resource kit to allow you to run any program as a service - I'm not sure how well this would work with tomcat as I've never tried it - I suspect it won't work too well..... If you look through the tomcat.bat file you'll probably have to hardcode the envronmental variables and call tomcat straight from the java executable instead of using a batch file/ The utility is called SRVANY.
