The TDS also has a reinitialization capability that rereads all the 
config catalogs in the content/thredds directory without restarting the 
servlet or Tomcat. You need to have the SSL remote management stuff 
setup before you can use the reinit capability. The remote management 
docs are here, 
http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/docs/RemoteManagement.html.

I haven't seen the "port already in use" error you are getting. But I 
would guess that if you make sure Tomcat has completely shutdown before 
starting it back up, you would avoid this error. The TDS reinit should 
certainly avoid this error. I think the tomcat web app manager web 
interface would avoid it as well.

Hope this helps,

Ethan
