I changed my script to add these two variables and still no luck. I
also have them defined in catalina.sh (since I have many instances of
tomcat running) - could that cause the problem?
#!/bin/bash

CATALINA_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat1; export CATALINA_HOME
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1; export JAVA_HOME
case "$1" in
start)
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
