Problem with startup script for tomcat in linux

[Kamaleshwaran Sivalingam <ka...@rediffmail.com>]

 Hi all,

          I have a problem  using startup script for tomcat in linux.  It actually starts 
up when booting up. but then, it says " [Failed]  " and the reason is 
"JAVA_HOME variable not defined correctly. This environment variable is  
neccesary for running this program. "

But I have defined the environment variable in my startup script. 

I am using Tomcat 4.1.18 with j2sdk1.4.1_02 in redhat linux.
tomcat directory is /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18 and the java directory is /usr/
java/j2sdk1.4.1_02

I placed the startup script  named tomcatd.sh  in  "/etc/rc.d/init.d"

The following is my startup script.

#!/bin/bash
#
# Startup script for Jakarta Tomcat
#
# chkconfig: 345 84 16
# description: Jakarta Tomcat Java Servlet/JSP Container



TOMCAT_HOME=/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18
TOMCAT_START=/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18/bin/startup.sh
TOMCAT_STOP=/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18/bin/shutdown.sh

#Necessary environment variables
export CATALINA_HOME=/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.4.1_02

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network

# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0

#Check for tomcat script
if [ ! -f $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/catalina.sh ]
then
    echo "Tomcat not available..."
    exit
fi

start() {
    echo -n "Starting Tomcat: "
    daemon $TOMCAT_START
    echo
    touch /var/lock/subsys/tomcatd
# We may need to sleep here so it will be up for apache
#    sleep 5
#Instead should check to see if apache is up by looking for http.pid
}

stop() {
    echo -n $"Shutting down Tomcat: "
    daemon $TOMCAT_STOP
    rm -f /var/lock/subsys/tomcatd.pid
    echo
}

case "$1" in
    start)
        start
        ;;
    stop)
        stop
        ;;
    restart)
        stop
        sleep 3
        start
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Usage: tomcatd {start|stop|restart}"
    exit 1
esac

Can anyone help me out?. 

Thanks in advance,

Typo in your script.  the JAVA_HOME line should read:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02
