Has anyone had problems with this? I'm experiencing startup problems. The script is 
all setup *that* way and running it manually when the system is in Run Level 3 starts 
it up, just fine. However, when system boots, Tomcat starts and keeps running for 5 to 
10 seconds, then it just plain exits. Nothing in error logs (except "catalina 
starting"), nothing on the console.

I will add that this is Tru64 UNIX 4.0D (Digital UNIX or DEC OSF/1) and I had problems 
with the startup scripts, due to some shell quirkiness. That has been resolved by some 
simple change in the scripts. Is it a problem for Catalina if it looses STDIN/STDOUT 
while attempting to startup? Because, that is the only big difference in boot startup 
and manual startup.

Nix.

The original message is at the end...

I'm using RedHat linux but I suspect the solution is very similar.

I've created a user tomcat4 in the already existing apache group.
Login is disabled for this user for security reasons.  The
jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3 directory is owned by root with 777 perms
on the work and logs subdirectories.  On further thought I suppose
I could have chown'd those directories to tomcat4.apache with 755
perms.

I've created a file /etc/sysconfig/tomcat4 as follows:

-%<--
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0

export CATALINA_BASE=/usr/local/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3
export CATALINA_HOME=$CATALINA_BASE
-%<--

This gets referenced/sourced in the init script which is
named /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat4.  It is heavily based on
the httpd init script.  It doesn't do status yet and the locking
hasn't been tested but it seems to work ok otherwise.

I then run 'chkconfig --add tomcat4' to install it in the proper
runlevel directories.  There may also be a problem with the
order on shutdown but I'm not sure.  I think I might be trying
to shutdown postgresql before tomcat which ends up blocking, so
the shutdown fails.  At least, I think that is what happens.  YMMV.

I ask one favour.  If you improve upon this script then please post
your changes as there has been a real lack of this sort of tomcat
infrastructure postings.  Now, I'm just as guilty since I meant to
post this long ago but ended up forgetting...

Original message follows:

Hi all,

Using SOLARIS 2.8, Tomcat 4.0.2 on a SUN 220R Server

Well my Tomcat engine is runnin' under a special user, let's say
wildcat.

I'm  looking for a way to automatically start this engine at system
boot, like i do with Apache.

Apache has a special way - start by root and change user to handle the
processes - to do the trick, but not Tomcat.

Does any one knows about a restriction to use smth like su wildtiger -c
'$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh'...

Any suggestions welcome.

Jean-Luc :O)

here's my /etc/rc.d/initd/tomcat script.

to start oracle / tomcat / apache (in that order) with linux i just make
symbollic links like:

[/etc/rc.d/rc5.d] S82tomcat -> ../init.d/tomcat 

hope that helps...

Oh and you'll probably want to define:

JAVA_HOME
CATALINA_HOME
(or TOMCAT_HOME as appropriate)

directly inside of tomcat.sh or catalina.sh

su -c

see
man su

Oh, wait, I see that you know that already --

For me I had to symlink to tomcat.sh and init will automatically call it
with "start" and "stop" arguments:

tomcat.sh start
and on shutdown:
tomcat.sh stop

which is essentially what startup.sh and shutdown.sh do.

This worked for me on Linux, don't know Sun, sorry.

Automatic start from /etc/rc3.d ???

Hi all,

Using SOLARIS 2.8, Tomcat 4.0.2 on a SUN 220R Server

Well my Tomcat engine is runnin' under a special user, let's say
wildcat.

I'm  looking for a way to automatically start this engine at system
boot, like i do with Apache.

Apache has a special way - start by root and change user to handle the
processes - to do the trick, but not Tomcat.

Does any one knows about a restriction to use smth like su wildtiger -c
'$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh'...

Any suggestions welcome.
