RHEL and Tomcat startup/shutdown scripts
Hello everyone,
Over the past couple of months, I have been working with some Tomcat
instances on RHEL 5 and wondered: what is the recommended method to
startup/shutdown Tomcat? After reading the Tomcat documentation, they
talk about compiling the jsvc source under the bin directory and using
that.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply Ben!
Unfortunately due to needing Java 1.5+ (current distro gcj is Java 1.4.2
equivalent) for CAS (http://www.ja-sig.org/products/cas/) and Tomcat 6
(unicast member discovery via static members), I am unable to reply upon
Redhat's Tomcat 5.5 package. As such, I have to use the precompiled
binaries of Sun's Java 1.6 and Apache's Tomcat 6.0.
I have no problems compiling and using the jsvc daemon for Tomcat. I'm
just at a loss about whether that is the right route or not.
Thanks,

Hi Andrew,
Redhat package tomcat 5.5 as an RPM (or JPackage package it and Redhat
distribute it).
This RPM comes with well written init scripts, creates a tomcat user
etc. I would recommend you use this.
# yum install tomcat5
Cheers, Ben
