2 - Try using startup.sh, here is an easy way:
cd /bto/appl/apache/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4 && bin/startup.sh
instead of catalina.sh.
3 - Temporarily - hack the startup scripts to print crap to standard out so you can trap the error messages for more information
4 - There should be error messages somewhere - but do the above since they can't seem to be found

Subject: RE: Starting tomcat from init scripts (HP/UX)
Ok, I finally got the script to execute correctly and I got the familiar output:
Using CATALINA_BASE: /bto/appl/apache/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4 Using CATALINA_HOME: /bto/appl/apache/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /bto/appl/apache/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4/temp Using JAVA_HOME: /opt/java1.4
But tomcat still isn't starting, and I am not receiving any other errors.
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?
Thanks in advance for everybody's input and help.

Subject: RE: Starting tomcat from init scripts (HP/UX)
Have a look at /usr/share/doc/start_up.txt or /usr/share/doc/start_up.ps on
a HP-UX 11.00 machine for details of how to write a startup script conforming to HP-UX's standards
(for issuing messages at startup and shutdown via the 'start_msg' and 'stop_msg' parameters,
honouring the settings in /etc/rc.config.d etc...).
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

Tim is right. In HP/UX there is a default start script (I forget what it's called). You plug in the name of your service and add any other stuff it might need. You define you service as being active somewhere else. (I know I'm not much help but it's been a while).
That way when it starts you get the [OK] message.

the variables that are being used, but it doesn't do
anything more.
We haven't been able to find any errors to give us an idea
of what the
problem is. I'm sorry I think I forgot to say in the initial email that I am running Tomcat 4.0.4 on HP/UX 11.00. I appreciate any suggestions you can offer.

Hi,
It's been a while since I tinkered with HP/UX but it seems
to me that
you can set all your varibles in the default tomcat start
scripts and
then call the default startup.sh and shutdown.sh.

Hi,
The above subject is based on the exact same topic I found in the archives from back in January, but no solution was ever
posted. We
are having the exact same problem that Pascal was having. We are trying to start tomcat from an init script at boot time.
I have the
needed variables in the init script, and the init script calls catalina.sh directly. Below is a copy of my script. I have used the script to stop and start tomcat manually without a problem.
However, when Tomcat tries to start at boot time the run control information states that it can't start as root, and it is
going to
try as bin, but it is unsuccessful. Does anybody know why it wouldn't be able to start as root? What can I do to fix this?
