Since nobody has responded does this mean nobody has any more ideas on the problem or am I getting the "You idiot. The answer is staring you in the face." silent treatment? If it is the latter, I will admit being an idiot if someone will enlighten me. If it is the former, I want to say thank you for the help I have received to this point because I am farther along then I was, and if I figure out a solution short of a cron entry I'll post it. Thanks again for the help. Carey

Also the script executes fine when I do it from command line. I have placed the start/stop script in /sbin/init.d/. I have made the script be last to start and first to stop. I couldn't get the script to recognize the env variables when they were in the rc.config.d directory, so I placed them directly in the script which seems to have worked, but the process still isn't starting. Can anybody give me any other ideas as to what could be wrong or what I could try? Any ideas how I can get a better error information? Below is the start/stop script - /sbin/init.d/tomcat. Can you see anything missing?

You can use any of the scripts in /sbin/init.d as a basis - modify one as appropriate and get it to simply call catalina.sh. We also modified our catalina.sh to check which userid was calling the script. If it was root it would sudo to the non-privileged user that Tomcat ran under ('tomcat'). If it was userid 'tomcat' calling it it would simply continue. If it was anyone else, it would exit with an error message. This way we get Tomcat started as a non-privileged user starting automatically on boot. Regards, Morgan > -----Original Message----- > From: Eric J.
