It might be that you don't set $TOMCAT_HOME.
The following script works on Linux, set vars to your values:
#!/bin/sh
TOMCAT_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat
export TOMCAT_HOME
JAVA_HOME=/opt/IBMJava2-13
export JAVA_HOME
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting Tomcat: "
$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh
echo
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down Tomcat: "
$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh
echo
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
