Yes I just noticed that in the script that it sets catalina.sh to EXECUTABLE and then executes that in the end.. I should have looked at the full script before I asked :-)
So if I do set the JAVA_OPTS in startup.sh it should be good enough right? Considering that I use startup.sh to start tomcat up.

I use startup.sh which is why I had my setting in there but I'm not quite sure if that's the way to go with 5.5.X.

I set the values in the catalina.sh script (so it only affects Tomcat) CATALINA_OPTS="-server -Xms1024m -Xmx2048m -Xss3m"; export CATALINA_OPTS Fred ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe DeSouza Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2008 6:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Slightly OT: Tomcat configuration for heap size configuration I have a little confusion about what the setting should be. I am on Redhat version 4 and Tomcat 5.5.25 Currently I have the following line to set JAVA_OPT in my startup.sh file. JAVA_OPT="-DXmn1536m -DXmx2560m"; export JAVA_OPT For min and max memory. But on looking online for typical JAVA_OPT settings, I've noticed that Tomcat no longer uses the mn for minimum and this might be replaced with ms for initial memory instead of minimum memory. So should my settings be changed to JAVA_OPT="-DXms1536m -DXmx2560m"; export JAVA_OPT What have you got on your startup.sh file or what have you got JAVA_OPT set as in the environment?
