I am not sure if setting variables like TOMCAT_HOME, JAVA_HOME, and PATH
for all processes and all users in /etc/profile, /etc/bashrc or /etc/csh.cshrc
is such a good idea. If you want to start up apache/tomcat you can write
yourself a script inside of which you set up environment. (You can use
a script apache-tomcat which I give in my writeup as a starting point:
http://www.ccl.net/cca/software/UNIX/apache/solaris-t3.2b5/README.shtml
http://www.ccl.net/cca/software/UNIX/apache/solaris-t3.2b5/files/apache-tomcat.txt
You can place this script in /etc/rc.d/init.d (it just has to have
start/stop cases, look for examples in this directory) an run chkconfig
(do: man chkconfig, learn about options, and do not forget about putting
# chkconfig: 345 55 45
line close to the top)
This will be starting your apache/tomcat. On the other hand, since it is
my experience that tomcat dies (or goes crazy) on some nasty bugs, it is
probably safer to just start it by hand...
