/etc/default/tomcat6 Note that there are many Linux distributions. The existence of this file suggests that you are using Debian or a derivative. /etc/default/tomcat6 is the canonical place to set tomcat6 JVM options under Debian (for example, Debian 6 squeeze). Do not modify /etc/init.d/tomcat or you changes may be lost when the package is updated. > 2.

How can I check what JAVA_OPTS are really being used? ps auxwwwww | grep catalina > 5. what options are necessary? You will likely need to increase -Xmx and perhaps increase the perm gen if you have many servlets. Selection of options is very much dependent on usage patterns, resource constraints, and the level of service you wish to provide. Use tomcat monitoring tools.
