Hello,...
I am trying to have Cocoon automatically start when my linux box starts up.
I am using: Cocoon 2.1.3 Tomcat ??? Apache 2.0.40 Linux RedHat8
All I can find in the docs/FAQs/etc are instructions for starting Tomcat
using tomcat.sh or catalina.sh. There are no tomcat.sh or catalina.sh files
on my system.
I am guessing that Tomcat is more hidden in version 2.1.3 of Cocoon.
Pretty hidden indeed! Tomcat isn't now and never was included in Cocoon. A slimmed down version of Jetty was bundled sometime in 2.1 for convenience of trying Cocoon out, but for production you'd want the full version of Jetty or Tomcat, or something else.
Once Cocoon is installed in one of these containers, your question boils down to how to start the servlet container on startup, and that comes to placing or linking a start script in rc3.d as you would any other startup bit on linux. The biggest issue is how to do so and start as some user other than root. Someone may have a better suggestion but I personally use a script (below) that basically does su - webuser tomcat.sh
