Stuart, You basically need to write a wrapper .sh script to tart tomcat and put it into the init.d directory. The init.d directory varies with the linux distro but common places a /etc/init.d and /etc/rc.d/init.d. Then you need to create sym links to start/stop it on the various run levels. I refer you to your documention on services under RedHat.
I believe that somebody mentioned that there is a catalin.sh script that works as a service, so you may not need to write one. In most of the RedHat distros that I have used, there is a script in the init.d directory named httpd that takes care of stopping and starting apache as a service. I would look at the other scripts in init.d for information on how to write one.
