Package: tomcat5.5
Version: 5.5.20-2etch2
Severity: important


I used th following commands to stop and start tomcat :

/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 stop

... do manipulations

/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 start

and tomcat refused to start with the following error message :

Starting Tomcat servlet engine: tomcat5.5/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5: line 150: 
/bin/rm: Liste d'arguments trop longue
(in english "Liste d'arguments trop longue" stands for "too many args")

We have modified scripts to handle multiple instances so lines numbers may 
differ from standard script. The line with the probleme is the 
following one :

                rm -rf "$CATALINA_BASE"/temp/* \
                        "$CATALINA_BASE/logs/catalina.out"

Removing files by hands soved the problem. Maybe removing the dir "temp" 
instead of all the files would solve the problem ?

For me this problem is important as the service provided by tomcat has been 
interrupted more time than we expected.
