In the tomcat-apache-how-to there is a section  at the end where the writer
answers a question of How do you start tomcat as "nobody"

Here's the code:

#!/bin/sh
CLASSPATH=/your/classpath/here
export CLASSPATH
su - nobody -c "/tomcat/bin/tomcat.sh $@"

The only thing  I changed was the path /your/classpath/here
My CLASSPATH contains JAVA_HOME so I figure I have to put that env var and
associated export

On boot TomCat is not being started.

I've got some debug/echo in tomcat.sh that writes out to a file.  The debug
msgs never show up, so I figure it tomcat.sh is never being called.

Now I'm not super clear about why I would need or want to run TomCat as
nobody.  If I yank out the "su - nobody" it seems to work fine.

ands what's the "nobody" got to do with boot up anyway.

Also, any clue on why I don't  see any msgs or why TomCat is not being
started.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks Steve
