I'd definitely be interested in such a tool. It sounds like it would make for a great presentation for ApacheCon Europe 2015: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-europe/ Even if it ends up just being a nice wrapper around the existing ant tasks for remote-controlling the manager web application, it would be nice. The ant tasks can't bounce a Tomcat instance, though, so additional features would certainly be more interesting. -chris
