If this has all been gone over in detail before, then a pointer to a copy of the thread in the archives would probably shut me up. I was assuming: - An rpm installation would set up a series of scripts in the appropriate LSB-compliant directories. One of those scripts would be tomcat4. A user wanting to start Catalina would run tomcat4 (or put it in their rc directories to be started automatically) - A non-rpm installation would still be started by running bin/catalina.sh, just like before. This would be typical of a developer just getting started with Tomcat. > So experienced and beginner will JUST have to : > > - Comment JAVA_HOME="/opt/IBMJava2-13" in config file > for auto-exploration > > - Set JAVA_HOME in config file to specify WHICH JVM they > want to be used with Tomcat3 (and since TC 4 use another > config file, it could be used at the same time with the > same or a different JVM). > But that's only if you're running using a full-on RPM based installation? I doesn't really matter, though. My objection is based on the "principle of least suprise", which in this case means that an installation that works should not suddenly stop working because of an unrelated change to another part of the system. If the answer is "it's unwise to run with auto-discovery turned on", then why have it at all? Systems that need to run totally without configuration (from a cdrom?) would presumably need custom configuration scripts in any case. -- Christopher St. John [EMAIL PROTECTED] DistribuTopia http://www.distributopia.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
