Hello and thank you for reading my post. My question is about how can Tomcat be started at boot time as a non-root user.
The OS is Debian Wheezy. Below is what I did already: root> chown -R tomcat7.tomcat7 /opt/tomcat7/ I created a new file: "/etc/init.d/tomcat7" Owner and owner group: root Permissions: 755 ------------------------------------------------------- #! /bin/sh export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.7.0_67/ case $1 in start) /bin/bash /opt/tomcat7/bin/startup.sh ;; stop) /bin/bash /opt/tomcat7/bin/shutdown.sh ;; restart) /bin/bash /opt/tomcat7/bin/shutdown.sh /bin/bash /opt/tomcat7/bin/startup.sh ;; esac exit 0 ------------------------------------------------------- I ran: root> update-rc.d tomcat7 defaults Added to /etc/rc0.d/ : K01tomcat7 Added to /etc/rc1.d/ : K01tomcat7 Added to /etc/rc2.d/ : S17tomcat7 Added to /etc/rc3.d/ : S17tomcat7 Added to /etc/rc4.d/ : S17tomcat7 Added to /etc/rc5.d/ : S17tomcat7 Added to /etc/rc6.d/ : K01tomcat7 At boot time, tomcat is started as root. How can it be started as tomcat7?
