Are you talking about bin/Tomcat.sh that comes bundled with Tomcat 6
under bin/jsvc.tar.gz? I'm looking at 6.0.20's version of that file, and
it's got some disturbing stuff in it, like this:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.3.1

and this:

CLASSPATH=\
$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar:\
$DAEMON_HOME/dist/commons-daemon.jar:\
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/bootstrap.jar

(note the tools.jar)

The script Tomcat5.sh has similar craziness in it, but I suppose those
scripts /do/ say:

# Adapt the following lines to your configuration

Given that the script basically has to be configured, can you please
post any customizations that you have made to the script?

I haven't looked at the source to jsvc, but I see that the -errfile
parameter to jsvc is set to '&1' which, in many shells, means "standard
output". You can see from the (rather simple) script that the -outfile
and -errfile options are set to reasonable values
($CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out).

Actually, if you're using multiple Tomcat instances and setting
CATALINA_BASE, then the script is wrong: it should say:

    -outfile $CATALINA_BASE/logs/catalina.out \
    -errfile '&1' \

Better yet:

    -outfile "$CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out" \
    -errfile '&1' \

Oh, those pesky spaces in path names! (Cue Andre's rant)
