Ricky, Actually, for my startup script that is in init.d, all I am doing is linking to catalina.sh. An "ls -al" of it look like this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 53 Nov 12 09:01 tomcat -> /bto/appl/apache/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4/bin/catalina.sh I have then placed a link to this in the rc3.d. I could have linked directly to catalina.sh from rc3.d, but for consistency I like all my startup and kill scripts in the rc#.d directories to link to the init.d directory. The link in the rc3.d directory looks like this: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root sys 18 Oct 25 10:13 S55tomcat -> /etc/init.d/tomcat An uppercase "S" signifies a startup script, and an uppercase "K" signifies a kill (or stop) script. This is the script I am using in the crontab: (I am sure many have come up with better, but this works for my developers) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #!/bin/ksh # The script stops and starts the java servlet container JAVA_HOME=/bto/appl/apache/j2sdk CATALINA_HOME=/bto/appl/apache/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4 #CLASSPATH=$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib:$JAVA_HOME/lib:$JAVA _HOME/jre/lib/ext:.

I want to do the same but perhaps on a weekly basis. One of the problems I am worried about is that Tomcat isn't stopping, so I would need to wait for it to end or kill it before I restart it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
