I basically need a script to run automatically when I reboot the server.
I have tried the various ways to get it to work in init.d and it's not working.
When I go into init.d and run it manually it works though.
I think it has something to do with the fact that to run the script manually I
am logged in as root, whereas for it to run automatically it has to run in the
background.
I will include the script info in this email and see if you had an idea as to
where the issue is.
So in /etc/init.d, there is a script called Tomcat, here is the "start" portion
of the script. Once again, when I run this manually while logged in as root it
launches.
#!/bin/sh
# Apache Tomcat Startup Script
# chkconfig 234 20 80
JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.6.0_45
CATALINA_HOME=/opt/tomcat
TOMCAT_USER=tomcat
start() {
echo -n "Starting Tomcat: "
su $TOMCAT_USER $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh
sleep 2
}
I tried creating a new script and putting that one in "rc.local".
Here is the "rc.local" command:
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.
su tomcat /opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
This is a total rookie issue I am sure....but just in case you might be able to
help with an easy enough fix, I would greatly appreciate it. I don't even know
where to look for error logs to troubleshoot this.
Thanks for any assistance.
