I'm running tomcat 5x on Red Hat 7.2 and Red Hat 9. The tomcat binary comes with a
script at:
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh
To run tomcat as a service, create a script, let's call it 'tomcatservice', and put it
at:
/etc/init.d/tomcatservice
Make it executable, keep it owned by root. Assume you are going run tomcat as user
'myuser'. Install tomcat, which just amounts to untarring it, and moving it where you
want it. Change owner on the directory to myuser, eg.
chown -R myuser:myuser jakarta-tomcat-5.0.9
chmod -R 750 jakarta-tomcat-5.0.9
Then your 'tomcatservice' script will contain something like:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0_01
export JAVA_HOME
cd $CATALINA_HOME/bin
su myuser -c "./catalina.sh $*"
Then put a link to tomcatservice at:
cd /etc/rc3.d
as follows:
ln -s /etc/init.d/tocmatservice SNNtomcatservice
where NN is a number not already taken by the other links in that directory. To kill
tomcat, add:
ln -s /etc/init.d/tocmatservice KNNtomcatservice
S for start, K for kill. Links in /etc/rc3.d will be called automatically if you
come up in text mode in linux. If you start up in gui mode, do the same but go to
/etc/rc5.d instead. You might want to do both.
I call tomcat using port 8080, so I am not sure about your question regarding port 80.
One thing to look out for, is that RHL 8 and 9 are missing a library needed by Tomcat,
libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2. I had to get it from RHL 7.2 and copy it to /usr/lib on RHL
9 to get Tomcat to run.

Subject: Tomcat on Linux
Hi folks,
I've decided to start doing some testing on Tomcat under Linux for which
I have installed Redhat 8 which is now up and running, downloaded the
JSDK for Linux which is also setup and downloaded the Tomcat files but
before I go ahead and start installing it I was wondering if you could
help me out determining a few things:
- Shall I create a new user, i.e. 'Tomcat' and install the server under
it or shall I just put it under ROOT? I know that if I do choose to
install it under a different user other than ROOT I'll have to setup
special execute permissions so the server can run on port 80 for
instance...
- I read somewhere that in order for Tomcat to run as a daemon one will
have to use the jsvc tool. Has anyone got any experience in doing it?
TIA,
/JM
