It's up to you. You can modify your S85httpd to include starting tomcat or create another script like S95tomcat that starts tomcat. Depending on how you configured apache-tomcat you may want to start tomcat before starting apache. If you do not rely on dynamicaly tomcat generated configs then I think it does not matter what starts first. - Boris > >All: > >Linux 7.1 Redhat, tomcat 3.2.2. > >Question: > >With the ajp13 working correctly tomcat should start from within the >S85httpd start script and shutdown accordingly ? > >D. >
