Use sudo -----Original Message----- From: Nadia Kunkov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 02, 2004 7:02 AM To: Tomcat help (E-mail) Subject: Run Tomcat 5 as Root or Tomcat User?
Hi, I installed Tomcat 5.0.16 as root. Now it means that I have to start and stop it being root unless I change ownership on a number of directories including $TOMCAT_HOME/bin. My question is should I run Tomcat as root or should I create a Tomcat User with the rights to start and stop tomcat and change ownership on ALL Tomcat directories to that user? I don't think Tomcat 5 comes with startup scripts. I'm trying to write a startup script but inside the script I have to 'su root' and that means I'll be prompted to enter the password. I'd like Tomcat to start at boot so I need to avoid the password prompt. What is the proper way of doing it since it's my first time.....? Thanks for your help.
