Package: tomcat8-user Version: 8.0.32-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
with tomcat8-instance-create it is relatively easy to setup a new Tomcat instance. Since that instance is private to a user it isn't started automatically, but instead has to be started and stopped via the startup.sh and shutdown.sh scripts. If I understand correctly, systemd provides support for managing services an a per-user basis. Would it be possible to change tomcat8-instance-create so that it generates the appropriate systemd unit files, making it possible to enable the service on login and starting and stopping it via something like 'systemctl --user ...'? That would make that user instance feel much more like a system-wide one and make managing it a little more convenient. I know I could do that myself, but being a user I'm rather too lazy to dig into the depths of systemd unit files ;-) Cheers, Chris -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages tomcat8-user depends on: ii netcat-openbsd [netcat] 1.105-7 ii tomcat8-common 8.0.32-1 tomcat8-user recommends no packages.
