There is no need to change any of the shell scripts. You need to set environment variable JAVA_OPTS with the desired option and the tomcat scripts will pick it up automatically.
The catalina.sh script looks for a script called setenv.sh to set this and other similar options. Here are the contents of a simple setenv.sh file that might do something similar: JAVA_OPTS="-server -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m" export JAVA_OPTS Or you can just set it in /etc/profile or ~/.profile (or equivalent for your shell).

There seems to be a bug in the jvm implementation that fedoracore 4 is using and using this option when the jvm starts corrects the problem at least from my application's perspective. The problem is that I don't know what needs changing in the startup.sh or whatever. The application is deployed on linux runing Fedora Core 4. Could someone give me an idea what I need to edit. I know basic linux administration.
