Section 1 of the docs - under the "Directories and Files" heading, second paragraph - "These are some of the key tomcat directories all relative to $CATALINA_HOME ./bin - Startup, shutdown, and other scripts. The *.sh files (for Unix systems) are functional duplicates of the *.bat files (for Windows systems). Since the Win32 command-line lacks certain functionality, there are some additional files in here." HOWEVER - you're better off for having used jsvc. "Out of the box" scrips run tc as root user. > > How can I update this page to help let people know there's an easier > option to get Tomcat using a startup script with catalina.sh rather > than tomcat5.sh? > > > Many thanks > > Steve > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
