I am having problems in starting tomcat at boot time with an automated
script of mine.
The Tomcat I am using is 5.5 since Sakai installation of mine depends
on 5.5 version on any other version it will break.
So /opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.31 is where every thing is and in that
bin/startup.sh is what I am trying to start each time at boot.
After writing the script I have done update-rc.d defaults
and I checked from command line
/etc/init.d/tomcatstart
/etc/init.d/tomcat stop
does work
where myscript above refers to the script below
but the same does not work when I reboot the system.
#!/bin/bash
#
# tomcat
#
# chkconfig:
# description: Start up the Tomcat servlet engine.
# Source function library.
. /lib/lsb/init-functions
RETVAL=$?
CATALINA_HOME="/opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.31"
case "$1" in
start)
if [ -f $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh ];
then
echo $"Starting Tomcat"
/opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.31/bin/startup.sh
fi
;;
stop)
if [ -f $CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh ];
then
echo $"Stopping Tomcat"
/opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.31/bin/shutdown.sh
fi
;;
*)
echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit $RETVAL
any pointers?

My script has finally worked.
For some weired reason the script was not working after reboot and it
turns out that this Tomcat was not able to pick JAVA_HOME from .bashrc
at the boot time.So when I defined JAVA_HOME in the above script also
then it did worked.
I do not know why Tomcat could not pick it from .bashrc at boot time
because once the thing completely booted then
/etc/init.d/tapas-script start
was working but to make sure it survives reboots I had to add
JAVA_HOME in this script also (though it was defined in .bashrc)
Automatically executed scripts don't pick up stuff from a specific users
environment, its best to assume they're blank slates. General rule of
thumb is to always set the entire environment you want at the start of
any script, otherwise what works when manually executed won't work
automatically, or might not work how you intend.
