I'm using RedHat linux but I suspect the solution is very similar.
I've created a user tomcat4 in the already existing apache group.
Login is disabled for this user for security reasons. The
jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3 directory is owned by root with 777 perms
on the work and logs subdirectories. On further thought I suppose
I could have chown'd those directories to tomcat4.apache with 755
perms.
I've created a file /etc/sysconfig/tomcat4 as follows:
-------------%<--------------------------------------
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0
export CATALINA_BASE=/usr/local/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3
export CATALINA_HOME=$CATALINA_BASE
-------------%<--------------------------------------
This gets referenced/sourced in the init script which is
named /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat4. It is heavily based on
the httpd init script. It doesn't do status yet and the locking
hasn't been tested but it seems to work ok otherwise.
I then run 'chkconfig --add tomcat4' to install it in the proper
runlevel directories. There may also be a problem with the
order on shutdown but I'm not sure. I think I might be trying
to shutdown postgresql before tomcat which ends up blocking, so
the shutdown fails. At least, I think that is what happens. YMMV.
I ask one favour. If you improve upon this script then please post
your changes as there has been a real lack of this sort of tomcat
infrastructure postings. Now, I'm just as guilty since I meant to
post this long ago but ended up forgetting...

Hi all,
Using SOLARIS 2.8, Tomcat 4.0.2 on a SUN 220R Server
Well my Tomcat engine is runnin' under a special user, let's say
wildcat.
I'm looking for a way to automatically start this engine at system
boot, like i do with Apache.
Apache has a special way - start by root and change user to handle the
processes - to do the trick, but not Tomcat.
Does any one knows about a restriction to use smth like su wildtiger -c
'$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh'...
Any suggestions welcome.
Jean-Luc :O)
