Determine if Tomcat is running in Windows using the command prompt

Question

Quite simply, how does one determine whether or not Tomcat is running in Windows, using the command prompt?

I am writing a batch script that must do this. This is

Answer 1

I check it by calling a vb script from command line

cscript //nologo checkurl.vbs | findstr "200"
IF errorlevel 1 GOTO :not_running 

Save the below script as checkurl.vbs and replace the ip with machines ip

' Create an HTTP object
myURL = "http://10.1.1.1:8080/"
Set objHTTP = CreateObject( "WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1" )

' Download the specified URL
objHTTP.Open "GET", myURL, False
On Error Resume Next
objHTTP.Send
intStatus = objHTTP.Status

If intStatus = 200 Then
    WScript.Echo intStatus
Else
  WScript.Echo "Error Connecting"
End If

I had problems with using sc query command, because even if tomcat crashed, the service would still be shown as running where in actual the port was not accessible
