Total Linux Newbie Question

[Mike Duffy <md...@yahoo.com>]

With all the Windows viruses going around, I've decided to spend the weekend switching from
Windows to Linux for my workstation at home.

Could someone please help me with a very basic question when running Tomcat under Linux:  When I
start Tomcat in the Linux terminal using "./startup.sh" I don't get to see any of the Tomcat
output.    In Windows I would get to see a scrolling DOS Window.  

How can I get to see the output when running under Linux?

Thanks.

Mike

Hi Mike,

Good move!

open the startup.sh in an editor and change the last line where is says
'start' to 'run'

alternatively, simply do
'catalina.sh run' 

same thing,

kind regards,
Luke

Hi,

That stuff is going to catalina.out in the logs directory.

Here's one of the best features of a Un*x based system.  Navigate your 
way to the logs directory, typically $CATALINA_HOME/logs and you will 
find the usual suspects for log files.  Now you can do a tail-f <log 
name> and get real time output from the log file.
