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
