I can confirm this phenomenon under FreeBSD 5.0-current of
yesterday. My /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh looks
like:

#!/bin/sh
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.1.8
/usr/local/build/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
sleep 3
/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start


(You see the defensive sleep3 there, but still I have to do a tomcat
start by hand after reboot).

I start it from /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Here's my script, not universally
applicable, but it works for me:

#!/usr/local/bin/bash
# Starts the webserver, including Tomcat
source /root/.bashrc
[ -x /usr/local/sbin/apachectl ] && /usr/local/sbin/apachectl start >/dev/null && echo -n ' apache'
/bin/sh /usr/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh >/dev/null && echo -n ' tomcat'

We recently had a power outage, and when the power came on Apache and
Tomcat both went back up, so I was pleased.

Do you start things from /usr/local/etc/rc.d or /etc/rc.local?

I'm running FreeBSD 4.1 RELEASE, and I do not have to start tomcat by hand
after a reboot. I start Apache first, then start Tomcat, with no sleeps at
all.

I pipe all the output to /dev/null, so I never noticed a problem with
STDOUT/STDERR.
