Why the totally off-topic reply about the start/stop procedure?

/opt/jetty/bin/jetty.sh stop
/opt/jetty/bin/jetty.sh start

Or use the init.d scripts.  That looks a lot like Tomcat.

I recommend using the server best supports the features you need.  
Software developers aren't paid lots of money to make decisions based on 
FUD.  There's good reason for Restlet, Jetty, Resin, Tomcat, and other 
engines existing.
