I'm starting up Tomcat 7.0 on RHEL6 with the following init script:
#!/bin/bash
#
# chkconfig: 235 80 20
# description: Takes care of starting and stopping Tomcat.
CATALINA_HOME="/opt/tomcat7"
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/jdk6-64/"
case "$1" in
'start')
/bin/su tomcat -c "$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh -security"
;;
'stop')
/bin/su tomcat -c $CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh
;;
*)
echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}"
;;
esac
If I use sudo -s (or -i) to get a root shell, I can use this script to start
and stop Tomcat.
If I invoke this script directly via sudo, i.e. "sudo /sbin/service tomcat7
stop", stopping Tomcat works. Starting does not; Tomcat gives the usual output
to the terminal, creates or touches catalina.out (but writes nothing to it),
and then instantly exits. This is a problem, because I need to allow the Web
admin to start/stop Tomcat without giving them everything.
Has anyone seen anything similar to this before? /var/log/secure isn't showing
anything out of the ordinary (and obviously, the commands are being run).
Thanks,
--Ray
