Hi again, thx for your comments, greatly appreciated. At my company we mainly use standard packages and this script builds upon them, however i was not aware of neither the broken state of tomcat5.5 nor the thread you pointed out above. Thanks for that.
No, it is no problem to rename the script or even split it into create/delete. Actually it was only supposed to create instances and be done, but well things tend to grow... I was actually going to rework it for tomcat6 and the upcoming 10.04 'lucid' LTS release, as we will use that in the foreseeable future. As we deploy servers via puppet ( http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/AboutPuppet check it out, it's cool! ;), the script has all the options it needs so we can automatically deploy and start a complete instance. Also, you need 'root'-rights to operate it in opposite to the scripts in the tomcat- user package. If you look at the reworked init script, you'll notice that it is only to be called via symlinks; It determines via the symlink's name what instance it should handle, so i'm not sure if this is possible with your new init scripts. However i like the idea as it gives the whole thing some consistency: all the folders (catalina_base, log, config...) and the initscript share the instances name. This makes server handling more easily in large environments imho, but we'll probably have to work out some 'golden middle' solution that won't interfere with all the work you've already done. I'll take a look at your packages when i'm back at the company on monday. The packages you provide are not the same as those coming with standard ubuntu repos right now i suppose? br & thx, David -- Multiple tomcat instances https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207787 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
