It looks like there are .sh versions of all of these files. --- Dmitry Sklyut <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You can add setenv.bat/sh to you tomcat bin direcotry. > catalina.bat/sh will > do the following: > > rem Get standard environment variables > if exist "%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\setenv.bat" call > "%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\setenv.bat" > > # Get standard environment variables > PRGDIR=`dirname "$PRG"` > CATALINA_HOME=`cd "$PRGDIR/.." ; pwd` > if [ -r "$CATALINA_HOME"/bin/setenv.sh ]; then > .
