I have found a file called tomcat5.5 in /etc/init.d/ which has the start-up
script for Tomcat 5. Would I simply make a copy of this called tomcat6 and
adjust the file to my specifics, or is there an easier way to do this? The text
of the file is attached, if it is of any help, but from reading through it, it
seems that most of it is for Tomcat in general and not the specific version, so
I think simply editing it should work. I am not that familiar with such files,
though - can anyone confirm/deny my guess?

Hi Neil,
we usually don't use the Tomcat installation provided by Ubuntu,
because the files are distributed over the hole filesystem. e.g. conf
under /etc. It's no problem to download a regular Tomcat-distribution
as tar.gz or zip und unzip it into /opt/tomcat.
You can write a simple service-wrapper into /etc/init.d/tomcat to
manage the server. This way you have all your information under /opt/
tomcat and it's although possible to install more than one server
instance.
Best regards,
Timo Meinen
