Thanks.

I just installed Tomcat and when I run the chkconfig -add tomcat, it 
tells
me that tomcat does not support chkconfig.
In order to support chkconfig, an init script must:

Be located in /etc/rc.d/init.d (which /etc/init.d is a symlink to)
Have a commented out line that contains "chkconfig: <default

runlevels for this service> <start priority> <stop priority>"
3.  Have a commented out line that contains "description: <a 
description of the service>"
4.  Upon successful service startup, place a lock file in 
/var/lock/subsys that matches the name of the service script.  Upon 
successful service shutdown, the lockfile must be removed.
It is worth noting that you must use "chkconfig --add <service name>" 
in order to have the service script placed in the shutdown/restart 
runlevels correctly.
There are many great examples already provided by existing services.  
They should be fairly straightforward reading.
Here's the init script we use, if it helps at all:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Tomcat Server
#
# chkconfig: 345 96 30
# description: Java servlet container
JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk
PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
TOMCAT_START=/opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
TOMCAT_STOP=/opt/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
export JAVA_HOME PATH
start()
{
        if [ -x ${TOMCAT_START} ]; then
                echo "Starting tomcat server..."
                ${TOMCAT_START} &
        else
                echo "Cannot start tomcat server"
        fi
}
stop()
{
        if [ -x ${TOMCAT_STOP} ]; then
                echo "Stopping tomcat server..."
                ${TOMCAT_STOP} &
        else
                echo "Cannot stop tomcat server"
        fi
}
restart()
{
        stop
        sleep 10
        start
}
status()
{
        echo "No status available for tomcat server"
}
case "$1" in
'start')
        start
        ;;
'stop')
        stop
        ;;
'restart')
        restart
        ;;
'status')
        status
        ;;
*)
        echo "Please supply an argument [start|stop|restart]"
esac
