Not big deal but I am bit tired to google for this script each time I setup new box. Now I know where to get it without spending two valuable extra minutes to google. First create /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcatd :
#!/bin/bash # # Startup script for Tomcat # # chkconfig: 345 84 16 # description: Tomcat jakarta JSP server TOMCAT_HOME=/usr/share/apache-tomcat-5.5.20 TOMCAT_START=$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh TOMCAT_STOP=$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh #Necessary environment variables export JAVA_HOME=”/usr/share/jdk1.5.0_10? export CATALINA_HOME=”/usr/share/apache-tomcat-5.5.20? #export LD_KERNEL_ASSUME=”2.2.5? # Source function library. . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions # Source networking configuration. . /etc/sysconfig/network # Check that networking is up. [ ${NETWORKING} = “no” ] && exit 0 #Check for tomcat script if [ ! -f $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/catalina.sh ] then echo “Tomcat not available…” exit fi start() { echo -n “Starting Tomcat: “ su - tomcat -c $TOMCAT_START echo touch /var/lock/subsys/tomcatd # We may need to sleep here so it will be up for apache sleep 3 #Instead should check to see if apache is up by looking for httpd.pid } stop() { echo -n $”Shutting down Tomcat: “ su - tomcat -c $TOMCAT_STOP rm -f /var/lock/subsys/tomcatd echo } status() { ps ax –width=1000 | grep “[o]rg.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start” | awk ‘{printf $1 ” “}’ | wc | awk ‘{print $2}’ > /tmp/tomcat_process_count.txt read line
Add user tomcat. Please note that it is normal user with his own home. Many times it was very useful.
adduser tomcat
Set JAVA_HOME for all users in /etc/profile.d/java.sh . When we run ’su – tomcat’ this script will set up our environment:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/share/jdk1.5.0_10
Give enough permissions to tomacat:
chown tomcat /usr/share/apache-tomcat-5.5.20/ -R
Now you are able to run tomcat with
service tomcatd start
The last thing is to run it when system boots:
chkconfig –add tomcatd chkconfig tomcatd on
Done

And for beginning shell programmers watch the use of “ and ” that gave me an error until I cnverted all the “ to “(tx to vim)
I also changed these lines
export JAVA_HOME=”/usr/share/jdk1.5.0_10?
export CATALINA_HOME=”/usr/share/apache-tomcat-5.5.20?
to these
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/share/jdk1.5.0_10
export CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/apache-tomcat-5.5.20
tx anyway ciao

I start my tomcat on my ssh and it works properly but when I close my ssh session it doesn’t work any more.
I have debian so I don’t have :
chkconfig –add tomcatd
chkconfig tomcatd on
how can I solve my problem?
thank you.

Maybe this script might help you out.
http://sysengineers.wordpress.com/2010/08/10/rhel5-init-script-for-tomcat-catalina/
It utilizes the linux subsystem and is chkconfig enabled. It only requires you to tweak one path (pointing to catalina) to make it work.

It’s very straightforward to find out any matter on web as compared to textbooks, as I found this article at this site.

Its like you read my mind! You seem to grasp a lot about this, such as
you wrote the e book in it or something. I feel that you just can do with a few % to drive the message home a bit, however other than that, that is great blog. A fantastic read. I’ll certainly be back.
