Package: tomcat5
Version: 5.0.30-12
Desc: /etc/init.d/tomcat5 line 126..
=====================================================================
The problem:
/etc/init.d/tomcat5 does not start if too many files
reside in $CATALINA_BASE/tomcat/temp/ as the
"rm -rf command goes beyond ARG_MAX."
rm -rf "$CATALINA_BASE"/temp/* \
"$CATALINA_BASE/logs/catalina.out"
# /etc/init.d/tomcat5-server14.example.com start
Starting Tomcat 5 servlet engine using Java from /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-sun:
/etc/init.d/tomcat5-server14.example.com: line 127: /bin/rm: Argument
list too long
#
=====================================================================
I suggest the usage of the find.
find $CATALINA_BASE/tomcat/temp/ -name '*.tmp' -print0 | xargs -0 rm
find $CATALINA_BASE/tomcat/temp/ -exec rm -rf {} \;
