If you launch apachectl restart, I guess it checks if there is a PID file. If httpd finds PID, it kills current process and starts a new apache process.
However, there is no "restart" option for Tomcat. So you have to call shutdown and then startup. -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Whitlock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: March 3, 2003 1:40 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Tomcat as Linux Service Yes. Right now I use the earlier posted script to start/stop/reload apache via "/sbin/service httpd start" and I'd like to do the same with tomcat. Here's how it would work: Case 1) "Start" - It would check to see if Tomcat is already running. If it's not running, start it. If it's running already, echo a message. Case2) "Stop" - It would check to see if Tomcat is running. If it's running, stop it. If it's not, echo a message. Case 3) "Restart/Reload" - It would check to see if Tomcat is running. If it is, stop the service then start it. If it's not running, echo a message. How can I do this? I see items in the Apache start script that would do this but I don't know what some of the others are. Can someone help me achieve this? This file would be "/etc/init.d/tomcat" after it's completed. I would then chkconfig --add tomcat and boom, I have a service. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
