Hi Winn, Try installing webmin (www.webmin.com) and create an action script to start and stop tomcat. There are a couple of scripts to start and stop tomcat at bootup time that were posted in this forum and which you can add to the action scripts. The scripts export Java_HOME and CATALINA_HOME and then run the startup.sh or shutdown.sh.
The webmin helps you because it creates the links for the action scripts. Hope that this helps you.

I have looked for an explanation of how to use this file to start it but none seem to exist if you know of any online please send a usable link.:) -----Original Message----- From: Wagoner, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 7:29 AM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Auto Start Tomcat CRON is to run jobs at a scheduled time. The init scripts are what starts processes at boot up. Just a word of warning; being a fairly recent Windows-to-Linux convert myself, be prepared to read and reread the docs before you get it working. ;-) -----Original Message----- From: Wynn Ricks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 9:19 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Auto Start Tomcat I have heard of it but am new to the Linux world like this is day 5. say that the box looses power for some reason will CRON start TomCat when the server is done restarting without anybody logging into the machine? -----Original Message----- From: Adrian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 7:02 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Auto Start Tomcat Ever heard of cron ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wynn Ricks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 7:57 AM Subject: Auto Start Tomcat Can anybody out there please tell me how to AutoStart Tomcat in the background on a RedHat Linux box without having to log in and start the service manually?
