after playing around with startup scripts on my suse linux 7.2 box i finally got tomcat to start as an linux service. i thought somebody may be interested in the script that's why i post it here. it can easily be placed under /etc/init.d, then create symlinks to it in rc3.d and rc5.d like S99tomcat and K99tomcat. the script supports the commands start, stop, restart and status you will have to configure the script to match your directory and port settings. it's quite self-expaining.
have fun with tomcat, it rocks! michael
