Hi there,
Paul's suggestion in #1 is probably the best way to go.. Here's a quick
way to do it on solaris.
# add the user to the OS
useradd myuser
# switch to C-shell
/bin/csh
# run the following script
#!/bin/sh
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java
TOMCAT_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat
su - myuser -c "${TOMCAT_HOME}/bin/startup.sh"
a typical crontab entry
0 0 * * * cd /path/to/script ; ./restart_tomcat.sh > /var/log/myout.dat
which says run at midnight every day.
A couple of things, make sure that the myuser has the proper CLASSPATH
settings and that it can find webserver.jar and servlet.jar and all
other necessary JAR files (in this case I normally would create
a .profile or .cshrc file in the user's home dir) and make sure that it
owns the directories that it needs to write to such as work for example
There are probably more elegant ways to do this but that should get you
started.
For your second question, Paul's suggestion abou the Controller servlet
sounds very interesting... though I haven't tried that myself..
The simplest way I could think of is that you almost have to write a
redirect servlet/snippet that will redirect based on the server
time ... I know in Apache there is conditional re-writing like this...
though it escapes me at the moment. please check httpd.apache.org and
search for Rewrite Rules.. I think it was in their examples section if
memory serves me right.
Hope that helps.
Jan-Michael
