Installing Tomcat as a Service
Hi all,
How might I go about installing Tomcat as a service in RedHat 9.0. I've
never installed a service under linux manually before and I'm not sure what
to do. I can't find the appropriate documentation in the manuals for either
Tomcat or RedHat. I must be looking in the wrong places :O(
UNRELATED: Also, If I wanted to install a java program as a service, how
might I do this? Is this a similar process?
Regards,
Stuart

Here you go:
Oscar's page should be all you need:
http://daydream.stanford.edu/tomcat/install_web_services.html
Check the bottom of the page for his tomcatd script. Then use
/sbin/chkconfig --add tomcatd
to install it.

Stuart,
You basically need to write a wrapper .sh script to
tart tomcat and put it into the init.d directory. The
init.d directory varies with the linux distro but
common places a /etc/init.d and /etc/rc.d/init.d.
Then you need to create sym links to start/stop it on
the various run levels. I refer you to your
documention on services under RedHat.
I believe that somebody mentioned that there is a
catalin.sh script that works as a service, so you may
not need to write one.
In most of the RedHat distros that I have used, there
is a script in the init.d directory named httpd that
takes care of stopping and starting apache as a
service.
I would look at the other scripts in init.d for
information on how to write one.

I already have done the hard work of intergrating apache and tomcat together
in the desired way. I now need to install the services. Going to the RPM is
a backward step for me now. Ideally i'd like to understand how the services
are installed under the linux os now.
I'll still have to research it to get the Java applications started as
services.

It's not about permissions, it's about the format of the script. From the
chkconfig man page:
-----------------
RUNLEVEL FILES
Each service which should be manageable by chkconfig needs two or more
commented lines added to its init.d
script. The first line tells chkconfig what runlevels the service
should be started in by default, as well
as the start and stop priority levels. If the service should not, by
default, be started in any runlevels,
a - should be used in place of the runlevels list. The second line
contains a description for the service,
and may be extended across multiple lines with backslash continuation.
For example, random.init has these three lines:
# chkconfig: 2345 20 80
# description: Saves and restores system entropy pool for \
# higher quality random number generation.
This says that the random script should be started in levels 2, 3, 4,
and 5, that its start priority should
be 20, and that its stop priority should be 80. You should be able to
figure out what the description
says; the \ causes the line to be continued. The extra space in front
of the line is ignored.
-----------------
Make sure your script has this line and ALL three numbers are present (read
above to figure out what they are):
# chkconfig: 2345 20 80

RE: Installing Tomcat as a Service
Posted by Steph Richardson <st...@kvasar.com>.
Sounds like your problem can be easily solved by reading the manpage, as the previous email from Paul suggests.
man chkconfig
will tell you exactly why "service service-name does not support chkconfig"
you need specially formatted comments starting with something like "# chkconfig : 2345 80 20"

I use the following script on RedHat 7.3 (I save this as
/etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat):
#!/bin/bash
#
# Startup script for the Tomcat Web Server
#
# chkconfig: 345 84 16

stop)
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh

echo $"Usage: tomcat {start|stop}"

I then do the following with chkconfig:
chkconfig --add tomcat
chkconfig --level 345 tomcat on
chkconfig --list tomcat
If that still doesn't work, ensure that you've set CATALINA_HOME and
JAVA_HOME in /etc/profile.
Hope that helps,
Mike

Thanks for the reply, I've tried creating a script in the /etc/init.d
directory and then running the chkconfig --add script-name and this hasn't
worked for me.
I'm getting an error saying that:
service service-name does not support chkconfig
I must still be doing something wrong?
The script has the same permissions showing in the ls -l list?

For a Java program, write a wrapper shell script like Tomcat authors did
with
catalina.sh.

Sounds like your problem can be easily solved by reading the manpage, as the previous email from Paul suggests.
man chkconfig
will tell you exactly why "service service-name does not support chkconfig"
you need specially formatted comments starting with something like "# chkconfig : 2345 80 20"

RE: Installing Tomcat as a Service
Posted by "Mike Cherichetti (Renegade Internet)" <mi...@renegadeinternet.com>.
I use the following script on RedHat 7.3 (I save this as
/etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat):
#!/bin/bash
#
# Startup script for the Tomcat Web Server
#
# chkconfig: 345 84 16
# description: Tomcat is a World Wide Web server. It is used to serve \
# HTML, JSP, and servlets, and CGI if needed.
# processname: java
case "$1" in
start)
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh
;;
stop)
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh
;;
*)
echo $"Usage: tomcat {start|stop}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
I then do the following with chkconfig:
chkconfig --add tomcat
chkconfig --level 345 tomcat on
chkconfig --list tomcat
If that still doesn't work, ensure that you've set CATALINA_HOME and
JAVA_HOME in /etc/profile.
Hope that helps,
Mike

Hi,
Check this:
http://www.jpackage.org
They have the rpm version of tomcat, that will make all the hard work
for you.
