# Tomcat Service

Use this page to specify whether Tomcat must be started as a service.

Starting Tomcat as a service has these benefits:

- Tomcat runs without showing a console window on your desktop.
- Tomcat keeps running when you log off.
- The service can be configured to start automatically after reboot of the machine.
