I'm no linux expert, and I am trying to set this up on a production
server that may have 1000+ users shortly. To start apache, I'm using
the rc.local file - and I'm having no luck with the following tomcat
startup script. Is it "bad" to use rc.local? By "you'd probably be
better off" - do you mean cause I don't appear to know what I'm doing
;-), or just because it's easier?
#!/bin/bash
#
# This script is for starting Tomcat automatically.
# For use on RedHat Linux - tested on v7.3
CATALINA_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat; export CATALINA_HOME
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1; export JAVA_HOME
# source function library
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
RETVAL=0
prog=tomcat1
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
