The default way of starting
Tomcat is: $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh, which uses $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml as its configuration file.
Is there a way to pass the configuration file through command line when calling startup.sh. I want to start multiple instances of tomcat on different ports.
Also, if the above thing is possible, is there a way to stop these instances individually. By means of passing some parameter to ./shutdown
