Hi.
As I recall, you are using a packaged version of Tomcat (meaning not the original one from
the tomcat website download, but one already packaged by the people who do such things for
your OS version).
You should then look carefully at what scripts are used to start/stop Tomcat on your
particular system (starting with /etc/init.d/tomcat e.g.), what they invoke and when, to
determine what you can put into CATALINA_HOME/x and CATALINA_BASE/y.
For example, these packages often use a file /etc/default/tomcat that sets some
environment values, which are later used to determine what other scripts do.
What Konstantin indicates below is based on the standard catalina.sh as provided in the
standard Tomcat download, but there is no guarantee that this script has not been modified
(or is even used) in your particular package.

I am using Tomcat v5.5
Do you mean that for newer versions of Tomcat, if i want to move some of the
scripts from $CATALINA_HOME/bin to $CATALINA_BASE/bin i will not be able to?
Thanks

Are there any side effects to doing this? Can tomcat use both
$CATALINA_BASE/bin/ and $CATALINA_HOME/bin during startup?
From catalina.sh:
if [ -r "$CATALINA_BASE"/bin/setenv.sh ]; then
. "$CATALINA_BASE"/bin/setenv.sh
elif [ -r "$CATALINA_HOME"/bin/setenv.sh ]; then
. "$CATALINA_HOME"/bin/setenv.sh
fi
i.e. it takes setenv.sh from $CATALINA_BASE if it exists, otherwise
from $CATALINA_HOME.
All the other script files are supposed to remain in $CATALINA_HOME/bin.
I am talking about the latest version of those scripts. I do not know
how old your Tomcat version is. You may look at your catalina.sh for
yourself.
Best regards,
Konstantin Kolinko
