Tomcat6 CentOS runlevel startup issue

[Peter Lokus]

Hi list,

I'm running an fresh tomcat 6.0.20 from tomcat.apache.org under /opt/tomcat.
Currently, I'm firing up tomcat with the supplied [startup|shutdown].sh
scripts manually.

Now, tomcat shall start automatically. For this purpose I created a
small script under /etc/init.d/tomcat5:

#!/bin/bash
#
# tomcat5      This shell script takes care of starting and stopping #Tomcat
#

function start() {
    echo -n "Starting ${TOMCAT_PROG}: "
    /opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
    return "$?"
}

function stop() {
    echo -n "Stopping $TOMCAT_PROG: "
    /opt/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
}

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
    start)
        start
        ;;
    stop)
        stop
        ;;
    restart)
        stop
        sleep 2
        start
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Usage: $TOMCAT_PROG {start|stop|restart}"
        exit 1
esac

Symlink'd it to
[r...@int01 init.d]# ln -s /etc/init.d/tomcat5 /etc/rc3.d/S99tomcat5
[r...@int01 init.d]# ln -s /etc/init.d/tomcat5 /etc/rc3.d/K99tomcat5
[r...@int01 init.d]# ln -s /etc/init.d/tomcat5 /etc/rc6.d/K99tomcat5

My script runs with "service tomcat5 [start|stop]" perfectly.
However, after a reboot tomcat is not reachable through HTTP.


Here is the machine state after a reboot:

[r...@int01 ~]# lsof -i:8080
COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
java    2139 root   34u  IPv6   6215       TCP *:webcache (LISTEN)

(I should considering not to run tomcat under root)

[r...@int01 ~]# ps waux | grep 2139

After a "kill -9 <pid>" and a "service tomcat5 start" tomcat is running
as usual.


Something went wrong. Do I need some additional environment variables
for tomcat in my script? Or is it something else?

Thanks in advance.
