Tomcat Start script not starting from init.d or rc.local
I basically need a script to run automatically when I reboot the server.
I have tried the various ways to get it to work in init.d and it's not working. When I go into init.d and run it manually it works though.
I think it has something to do with the fact that to run the script manually I am logged in as root, whereas for it to run automatically it has to run in the background.
I will include the script info in this email and see if you had an idea as to where the issue is.
So in /etc/init.d, there is a script called Tomcat, here is the "start" portion of the script. Once again, when I run this manually while logged in as root it launches.
#!/bin/sh
# Apache Tomcat Startup Script
# chkconfig 234 20 80
JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.6.0_45
CATALINA_HOME=/opt/tomcat
TOMCAT_USER=tomcat
start() {
echo -n "Starting Tomcat: "
su $TOMCAT_USER $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh
sleep 2
}
I tried creating a new script and putting that one in "rc.local".
Here is the "rc.local" command:
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.
su tomcat /opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
This is a total rookie issue I am sure....but just in case you might be able to help with an easy enough fix, I would greatly appreciate it. I don't even know where to look for error logs to troubleshoot this.
Thanks for any assistance.
Anthony

- From my man page:
-, -l, --login
make the shell a login shell, clears all envvars except for
TERM, initializes HOME, SHELL, USER, LOGNAME and PATH
The login shell is a bit problematic, but initializing USER, LOGNAME,
and PATH (the Tomcat user has a restricted path) is useful.
I don't see the restriction on su for '-' that your man page mentions.
We're running CentOS 6.5 / 6.6 in production, and I run Fedora 20 on
my laptop. I'm working on vetting a CentOS 7 (systemd) script, but as
usual other things keep impacting my time.

That's why the following line is in quotes:
"${CONFIG_OPTS} ${CAT_PID} ${TOMCAT_INSTANCE} start"
${CONFIG_OPTS} does contain spaces, and the resulting command
obviously contains spaces.
While the shell script is long and ugly, there are only a few places
where spaces crop up. I seem to have them all covered.

I'm looking at Chef to manage a lot of this in the future, depending
on how much Ruby programming is needed. I can then place everything in
version control, which makes me a much happier camper.
. . . just my two cents

Not true: environment variables are replaced before the 'su' command is executed, so your issue not a problem. If you were to use 'single quotes' then the string wouldn't be processed in this way.

Hi,
Your variables are not visible from the su user, you should export them as you launch your command :
su tomcat -c "JAVA_HOME=... CATALINA_HOME=... $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh"
Good luck

You may be using a different "su" than me, but here's the
documentation for the "-" switch for mine:
-, -l, --login
Provide an environment similar to what the user would
expect had
the user logged in directly.
When - is used, it must be specified as the last su option. The
other forms (-l and --login) do not have this restriction.
So, first, I don't think you want a "login" shell: there is no reason
to run /etc/profile, ~/.profile, etc. is there? Second, you aren't
supposed to use "-" except as the last option on the line. You might
want to check the manual page for your version of su.

Anthony,
My relevant line looks like this (all one line of course):
$SU - $TOMCAT_USER -c "${CONFIG_OPTS} ${CAT_PID} ${TOMCAT_INSTANCE}
start" >> $SERVICE_LOG 2>&1
$SU - set to su for non-SELinux, runuser for SELinux
$TOMCAT_USER - Tomcat user
${CONFIG_OPTS} - CATALINA_HOME, CATALINA_BASE, JRE_HOME, etc.
${CAT_PID} - PID, not used in startup
${TOMCAT_INSTANCE} - Tomcat command based on CATALINA_HOME
$SERVICE_LOG - logs the start and stop of the service
I stuff all of the options in a file which is parsed and placed into
${CONFIG_OPTS}. I could probably use setenv.sh, but this way I have a
root-controlled (and versioned) configuration file for my service
configuration.
I use catalina.sh directly, which is buried in the ${TOMCAT_INSTANCE}
variable. This is so I can do start and stop with one command setup.
Based on that and using catalina.sh, your command line should probably
look like:
start() {
echo -n "Starting Tomcat: "
su - $TOMCAT_USER -c "{$CATALINA_HOME}/bin/catalina.sh start"
sleep 2
}
Make sure your permissions in $CATALINA_HOME are correct.
And your su might need to be runuser, depending on whether or not you
use SELinux.
. . . just my two cents

You can use upstart if you have that, with a .conf file. However unless you
source the profile.d or wherever your environment variables are held do not
use them in an init task!

/etc/init.d are not usually run "in the background". Most /etc/init.d
scripts are processed as "root" on boot, so that shouldn't matter.

I'm not sure that's going to work. "man su". On my system, the command
comes first (with a "-c" switch), the username last. You might want to
consider using "sudo" instead of "su".

Don't use rc.local. Use /etc/init.d/[whatever]
Remember that /etc/init.d scripts aren't directly executed at boot:
you have to "ln -s" each script into /etc/rcX.d where X is the
runlevel number into which the machine is booting.
Hope that helps,
