Is it just your servlet that doesn't work, or all servlets? (and jsps)
Are you using different userids when run from boot time vs command line?
What happens if your startup command is moved to inittab? (Or other wacky equivalent)

the script in /etc/rc.d/init.d

Tomcat ignores system CLASSPATH at startup and creates its own.

I've got Tomcat 4.1.24 starting at boot on my Linux box with a script in
/etc/rc.d/init.d.  The script looks like this

#!/bin/sh
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java
export JAVA_HOME
/opt/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24/bin/startup.sh


Tomcat is starting at boot and seems to work fine http://localhost:8080 brings up the default Tomcat home page. The only thing that doesn't seem to be working is my classpaths that I set in the catalina.sh file are not being set. If I start Tomcat from the command line my classpaths are being read and my servlet works, but when starting Tomcat at boot my classpaths don't seem to be set because when I try to run my servlet I get "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError"

I don't get this error when Tomcat is started from the command line.  Why
would starting it at boot time not use my user set classpaths?

Here is the portion of catalina.sh that I added my classpath to.

# Add on extra jar files to CLASSPATH
if [ -n "$JSSE_HOME" ]; then

CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH":"$JSSE_HOME"/lib/jcert.jar:"$JSSE_HOME"/lib/jnet.jar:
"$JSSE_HOME"/lib/jsse.jar
fi
CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH":"$CATALINA_HOME"/bin/bootstrap.jar:
/opt/EspressReport/lib/ReportAPIWithChart.jar:
/opt/EspressReport/lib/ExportLib.jar


I also tried adding the two jar files ReportAPIWithChart.jar and ExportLib.jar to CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib

Both methods work and my classpaths are set and my servlet works, but only
if Tomcat is started from the command line "CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh".
Why doesn't this work when starting at boot?
