S40tomcat is a startup script for tomcat. Most people put it in the
/etc/init.d and hard link it to one of the rc.d directories and yes the
capital "S" at the beginning of the name will cause RH to automatically
append the start command to the script. Putting "K" at the beginning will
cause it to kill the process on shutdown. Hard link the script in the
runtime level you want tomcat to start in, usually rc3.d with a higher
number than processes you want to start before it.

Subject: RE: Start Apache/Jakarta-Tomcat as Non-root user
I've noticed that if I run ./S40tomcat, I have to add "start" after it
in order to get it to start from the command line. Does the startup
script add this automatically?
