Im currently using **tomcat 6.0.18**. I have installed tomcat server and set the `CATALINA_HOME` variable in the environment variables. Inside the tomcat installation location under the `bin` folder, there is no `startup.bat` or `shutdown.bat` file available. There are only two exe files: `tomcat6.exe` & `tomcat6w.exe`. I would like to know how to start the tomcat server via command prompt. 

I tried executing the below command 

```
C:\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat6.0\bin>tomcat6.exe start 

```

The `start` command works fine. But I'm unable to stop the server using the command 

```
C:\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat6.0\bin>tomcat6.exe stop 

```

But the `stop` command does not stop the server. It only starts the tomcat server.

Both the commands 'tomcat6.exe start' & 'tomcat6.exe stop' starts the tomcat server. I would like to know what options should I use to stop the tomcat server via command prompt. 

Any help on this is much appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
