sending you this mail.
Hi Shyam,
a few things you need to consider:
1. You have Tomcat already prepackaged on Ubuntu which works very well.
2. Only root is allowed bind ports below 1024.
Regarding 1: This is solved by the Ubuntu package
Regarding 2: Root must start the binary and perform a so called downgrade
Now, you have following options:
1. Use Ubuntu's start-stop-daemon
2. do $ su - tomcat -c startup.sh
3. Evaluate Commons Daemon which will perform that aforementioned
downgrade in plain C.
Ubuntu actually does that with 1 and 3. HAve a look at Ubuntu's tomcat6
startup script.
