I am trying to start tomcat with the "tomcat" user on my debian box. I am
using tomcat 5 untarred just now. I can start tomcat with root manually
just fine but I would like tomcat to run as the "tomcat" user. I created
the tomcat user:
tomcat4:x:103:65534::/usr/share/tomcat4:/bin/false
I created a startup script modelled after the one that comes with debian,
it acts like it starts but doesnt.
And my start up script is:
echo -n "Starting $DESC using Java from $JAVA_HOME: "
touch "$PIDFILE" "$LOGDIR/catalina.out" || true
chown --dereference "$TOMCAT_USER" "$PIDFILE" "$LOGDIR" \
"$LOGDIR/catalina.out" "$CATALINA_HOME/work" \
"$CATALINA_HOME/temp" || true
if start-stop-daemon --test --start --pidfile "$PIDFILE" \
--user $TOMCAT_USER --startas "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" \
>/dev/null; then
# -p preserves the environment (for $JAVA_HOME etc.)
# -s is required because tomcat's login shell is /bin/false
su -p -s /bin/sh $TOMCAT_USER -c \
$DAEMON start $STARTUP_OPTS \
>>"$LOGDIR/catalina.out" 2>&1
echo "$NAME."
else
echo "(already running)."
fi
