Hello all.
I know it might seem a stupid question, but i'm gettin' nuts over avoiding webapp auto startup on Tomcat restart.

Situation: i have a server, used for developing. Its tomcat has a bunch of webapps deployed. MOst of them are old/kept just for the sake of it, and I would like to avoid TC to start them on start / restart.

How do I prevent a context to autostart on service start / restart?

I would like to go in the config files and selectively choose the apps to start. When tomcat is started, if anyone needs an app to be started, i would like to do it from the manager. But when I restart TC, i would like my choices to be up and running only.

TY

I know in Suse Linux there are runlevels you can adjust to keep Tomcat from starting. Not sure what flavor of Linux you are using (probably Debian by your signature), but I would imagine they would have something similar.
