This is a good point. Tomcat does NOT detach, so running startup.sh
directly from an Ansible ssh session may well immediately shut down. You've
got to wrap it in something that will detach correctly. The easiest would
be nohup. startup.sh is also kind of pointless. You can just call
catalina.sh directly. From my Tomcat app's init script:
nohup $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh start
