Tomcat logging problem

[Tejas Dhedia]

Hi,
I am running tomcat 5.5.17 under opensuse 10.1 and my JVM version is
1.5.0_06. I am running my tomcat as a seperate tomcat user and starting it
at boot time using the following script in /etc/init.d.

#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup script for Tomcat

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java
export JAVA_HOME
start_tomcat=/home/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.17/bin/startup.sh
stop_tomcat=/home/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.17/bin/shutdown.sh

start() {
       echo -n "Starting tomcat: "
       su -c ${start_tomcat} - tomcat
       echo "done."
}
stop() {
       echo -n "Shutting down tomcat: "
       ${stop_tomcat}
       echo "done."
}

# See how we were called
case "$1" in
 start)
       start
       ;;
 stop)
       stop
       ;;
 restart)
       stop
       sleep 10
       start
       ;;
 *)
       echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
esac



I get following error output in my catalina.out file

java.util.logging.ErrorManager: 4
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.17

As a result nothing is being logged.
On checking I found that the log files were being created with owner as root
instead of tomcat.
Can someone please help me find where am i going wrong.

Thanks
