all service does it to run a script found in /etc/init.d
(or /etc/rc.d/init.d on older systems). So write a script
that starts and stops tomcat.
The Debian tomcat4 package comes with the following script
so it might need a bit of modification for your environment:-

Re: running Tomcat as a service/daemon on Linux
Copy the file TOMCAT/bin/tomcat.sh to the /etc/init.d directory. the make the proper links to the run level directories. If you have redhat, use the chkconfiig command after you copy the file. i.e. # to see what's running chkconfig --list #to turn on Tomcat chkconfig -level 3 tomcat on Tomcat does not use the daemon / service command to track PID's it will issue a socket command when stopping.

Re: running Tomcat as a service/daemon on Linux
I don't know what your OS is, but I installed via RPM and I have a script in /etc/rc.d/init.d named tomcat4. No, it's not as handy as service tomcat4 start, but it works :-) I typically wind up doing something like !?4 rest? anyway :-P (which grabs the last restart out of my history and executes it). That's even shorter than service tomcat4 restart :-D Chris Ruegger wrote: Is it possible to set up Tomcat on a Linux machine such that I can start it/stop with the service command, i.e. service tomcat start service tomcat stop If so, how would one do this?
