I tweaked it to use sudo to change user to tomcat:tomcat though, and I changed the chkconfig declaration to be extremely similar to what nginx uses, since that works fine. chkconfig likes the script, and sets it up in what looks to be perfect form (comparing to other things). These are pretty standard scripts though, yes? They basically just delegate to the scripts distributed with tomcat, which all end up calling catalina.sh :-) > > This may be more of a *nix question than a tomcat question, but I thought I'd > try here first since it is in the context of tomcat itself. > > Thoughts?

EB> I guess I'm not sure what you mean here. Apologies. However, I did chown -R tomcat:tomcat on the entire install. First start after that reminded me I needed to clean the logs out before expecting it to work :-) but I can now start this interactively using "sudo service tomcat start" and stop it, etc. EB> Perhaps I should add that I was raised on Unix, including being schooled in Unix administration.
