>From the RUNNING.txt you will need tomcat-juli.jar in $CATALINA_BASE/bin.

That being said, I start up and shut down 4 Tomcat instances when I'm working 
on 
cluster issues. Here's a typical directory structure I use for each Tomcat 
that's a part of the cluster:

deimos-host/
├── bin
│   ├── setenv.sh
│   ├── shutdown.sh
│   ├── startup.sh
│   └── tomcat-juli.jar
├── conf
│   ├── Catalina
│   │   └── localhost
│   │       ├── host-manager.xml
│   │       ├── manager.xml
│   ├── catalina.policy
│   ├── catalina.properties
│   ├── context.xml
│   ├── logging.properties
│   ├── server.xml
│   ├── tomcat-users.xml
│   └── web.xml
├── lib
├── logs
├── temp
├── temp-dir
├── watch-dir
├── webapps
│   ├── docs
│   ├── manager
│   ├── ROOT
└── work

I've left out the actual web applications and permissions.

Here's my startup.sh script for the above host.

#!/bin/bash
export CATALINA_BASE=/someplace/deimos-host
export CATALINA_HOME=/reference-place/apache-tomcat-6.0.29
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh

The shutdown.sh script is similar.

I have a bunch of environment variables in setenv.sh. They reference where 
log4j 
logs should go and enables JMX. Those aren't really important.

Finally, I start the entire cluster with the following script.

#!/bin/bash
( phobos-host/bin/startup.sh )
sleep 5
( deimos-host/bin/startup.sh )
sleep 5
( mars-host/bin/startup.sh )
sleep 5
( xerxes-host/bin/startup.sh )

The cluster shutdown script is similar.

There are a few things to note in the above script. The parentheses are 
necessary around each startup script. If you take a look at the stock 
startup.sh 
script in $CATALINA_HOME/bin, you'll find that the last line is:

exec "$PRGDIR"/"$EXECUTABLE" start "$@"

exec replaces the current shell. So if you write a script that tries to start 
multiple Tomcats, the first time you run the stock startup.sh script, your 
shell 
gets replaced.

I have sleep statements in my script since this is for a cluster and I don't 
define a port in the Receiver element of the cluster. This allows Tomcat to 
find 
open ports for cluster communication.

. . . . just my two cents

Which other files are needed? I tried copying all the files from the conf
directory of the base configuration, but that didn't resolve the issue
either.

Also, I have changed the shutdown port from 8005 to 8006. Any other
ideas/suggestions? Thanks.
