Howdy, Cron will execute any job at pre-determined times. You can write a script that looks for a tomcat process every minute, and if there isn't one, starts tomcat. That would be an OK way of getting it done. Cron docs for linux: http://nodevice.com/sections/ManIndex/man0204.html
You could also modify /etc/rc3.d or whatever it is on your linux version to tie tomcat into your boot sequence. See your linux documentation on boot sequence and services setup for this. This is a good starting point: http://www.desktop-linux.net/linuxbootprocess.htm Good luck, Yoav Shapira Millennium ChemInformatics >-----Original Message----- >From: Wynn Ricks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 9:19 AM >To: Tomcat Users List >Subject: RE: Auto Start Tomcat > >I have heard of it but am new to the Linux world like this is day 5. say >that the box looses power for some reason will CRON start TomCat when the >server is done restarting without anybody logging into the machine? > >-----Original Message----- >From: Adrian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 7:02 AM >To: Tomcat Users List >Subject: Re: Auto Start Tomcat > > >Ever heard of cron ? >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Wynn Ricks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "Tomcat Users List (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 7:57 AM >Subject: Auto Start Tomcat > > >Can anybody out there please tell me how to AutoStart Tomcat in the >background on a RedHat Linux box without having to log in and start the >service manually? > >Thanks for any help in advance > > >-- >To unsubscribe, e-mail: ><mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >For additional commands, e-mail: ><mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > >-- >To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-user- >[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-user- >[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > >-- >To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-user- >[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-user- >[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
