I have noticed that a number of other people have written with this problem, and I was wondering if there was a permanent solution yet.
When using jsvc to srart the Tomcat server with its own user ID, launched from a shell script in init.d during startup, jsvc aborts. If, on the other hand, I launch the exact same script while logged in a root, the daemon launches correctly and stays in memory. Finally, if I log in as "tomcat", it fails with exactly the same results as if it were launched during startup. Not being a linux guru (yet) or a jsvc guru, I am guessing. It appears to me as though the version of jsvc shipped with tomcat is attempting to write the jsvc.pid file somewhere that it lacks the authority to do so during the boot process. My reading of the symptoms could be wrong, so I would like some feedback from those who are really knowledgable about these products. Is there a solution to this problem? Thanks in advance.
