Hi John and Valerie, Tomcat4.0.1 like the Tomcat distributions before it comes with startup.sh and other executable script files as standard. This files are stored under the $CATALINA_HOME/bin directory. Incase you get problems running startup.sh, you should first set the $CATALINA_HOME varible in you linux startup scripts (I use the '/etc/profile' file) also you will need to set the $JAVA_HOME environmental variable which you can do in the same file. If you are unsure how to do this open the '/etc/profile' file and see how the other environmental variables are been declared and assigned values. You may then need to logoff and logon just to have the '/etc/profile' file executed.Then at the command prompt just type #$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh & to stop #$CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh & Incase of difficulties refer to the documents included in the distribution.
