Hi,

as far as i see the shell has no problems passing the # character.
I've added "ps auxwww |grep java" after the java call in catalina.sh,
just to verify the java-program itself is called with the correct
values, see below:

$ ~/tomcat#1/apache-tomcat-6.0.13/bin$ ./startup.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE:  /export/home/markus/tomcat#1/apache-tomcat-6.0.13
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /export/home/markus/tomcat#1/apache-tomcat-6.0.13
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR:
/export/home/markus/tomcat#1/apache-tomcat-6.0.13/temp
Using JRE_HOME:       /usr/java

/export/home/markus/tomcat#1/apache-tomcat-6.0.13/bin
$ ~/tomcat#1/apache-tomcat-6.0.13/bin$

thanks!

kind regards,

P.S shell commands with # between or after other characters are ok, e.g.
$ echo bla # 1
bla
$ echo bla#1
bla#1
$ echo bla#
bla#
