RE: Starting Tomcat on Linux as a Service??
John,
Here is a script that will let you use Tomcat as a service.
Here it is:
#!/bin/bash
#
# Startup script for Jakarta Tomcat
#
# chkconfig: 345 84 16
# description: Jakarta Tomcat Java Servlet/JSP Container
TOMCAT_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat/tomcat-4.1.18
TOMCAT_START=/usr/local/tomcat/tomcat-4.1.18/bin/startup.sh
TOMCAT_STOP=/usr/local/tomcat/tomcat-4.1.18/bin/shutdown.sh
#Necessary environment variables
export CATALINA_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat/tomcat-4.1.18
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_07
export LD_KERNEL_ASSUME=2.2.5
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network
# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = no ] exit 0
#Check for tomcat script
if [ ! -f $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/catalina.sh ]
then
echo Tomcat not available...
exit
fi
start() {
echo -n Starting Tomcat:
daemon $TOMCAT_START
echo
touch /var/lock/subsys/tomcatd
# We may need to sleep here so it will be up for apache
#sleep 5
#Instead should check to see if apache is up by looking for http.pid
}
stop() {
echo -n $Shutting down Tomcat:
daemon $TOMCAT_STOP
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/tomcatd.pid
echo
}
status() {
ps ax --width=1000 | grep [o]rg.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap
start | awk '{printf $1 }' | wc | awk '{print $2}'
/tmp/tomcat_process_count.txt
read line /tmp/tomcat_process_count.txt
if [ $line -gt 0 ]; then
echo -n tomcatd ( pid
ps ax --width=1000 | grep [o]rg.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap
start | awk '{printf $1 }'
echo -n ) is running...
else
echo -n Tomcat is stopped
fi
}
case $1 in
start)
start
;;
stop)
stop
;;
restart)
stop
sleep 3
start
;;
status)
status
;;
*)
echo Usage: tomcatd {start|stop|restart|status}
exit 1
esac
If you save this as tomcatd in the /etc/init.d/ directory, you can
then do:
chkconfig --add tomcatd
Now, you can use the Service tool from the GUI to start/stop your
service PLUS assign it to start up at boot. Also, the way it starts now
is:
/sbin/service tomcat start
You will notice the Usage portion of the script. This will tell you
what parameters you can add:
/sbin/service tomcatd parameter
Hope this helps, Jeremy
P.S. - I got one for Apache also if you need it. Remember to change the
path to your Tomcat installaion and the catalina.sh.

Subject: Starting Tomcat on Linux as a Service??
Folks,
One can start Apache by placing the command in the rc.local
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl.sh start
but it appears that you can not do that with tomcat because of the
need for various environmental variables (JAVA_HOME ..etc..)
Any one have a suggestion on how to get both tomcat and apache to
start (tomcat first) when the server reboots..???
Thanks...
John...

Re: Starting Tomcat on Linux as a Service??
Jon, Ok, making progress.. here is some info that might help others at my level...G .. but I still have a loose end...sigh What I did: Tomcat was not starting so I attempted to run the same start command from the commandline.. .. and got a pile of permission denied .. I then added the tomcat user to the admin.. no help.. then to the root group.. better but still joy.. I then realized that it was only the $CATALINA_HOME/logs directory that was having problems so I then changed the permissions on that directory.. (I had installed tomcat as root... my bad, I guess..) adding write permissions to others That got me started or so it seemed.. No error, but no joy.. What is strange is that if I try on the commandline /bin/su tomcat $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh .. it still will not start Tomcat either.. only $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh ...will start tomcat.. It appears that trying to run Tomcat under the user tomcat will not work..??? ...I then removed the /bin/su tomcat from the script and...no joy either.. Obviously there is more to this that I understand... Any thoughts on this mystery...?? John... Jon Roberts wrote: John B.

Instead of rc.local, it would be more customary to use an initialization script in /etc/init.d. Look in this path to find examples for other services. As far as how the scripts should read, here are some examples posted by another list member which are pretty instructive: http://tinyurl.com/5s4x Good luck.
