I've modified your script for RedHat Linux 7.3, but my tomcat instance
still won't start on bootup. I can execute ./S40tomcat, enter the
tomcat user's password and everything works fine. Any ideas or log

#!/bin/bash

case "$1" in

su tomcat /usr/local/tomcat1/bin/startup.sh
sleep 5
;;
stop)
su tomcat /usr/local/tomcat1/bin/shutdown.sh

*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
