1. Create script in /etc/init.d for automated start up/shutdown
2. Place following in the file
2. Change permissions
# cd /etc/init.d
# vi tomcat
2. Place following in the file
#!/bin/bash
# chkconfig: 234 20 80
# description: Tomcat Server basic start/shutdown script
# processname: tomcat
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_10
export JAVA_HOME
TOMCAT_HOME=/usr/share/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/bin
START_TOMCAT=/usr/share/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/bin/startup.sh
STOP_TOMCAT=/usr/share/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/bin/shutdown.sh
start() {
echo -n "Starting tomcat: "
cd $TOMCAT_HOME
${START_TOMCAT}
echo "done."
}
stop() {
echo -n "Shutting down tomcat: "
cd $TOMCAT_HOME
${STOP_TOMCAT}
echo "done."
}
case "$1" in
start)
start
;;
stop)
stop
;;
restart)
stop
sleep 10
start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
esac
exit 0
2. Change permissions
# chmod 755 tomcat
3. Add script to system services
# chkconfig --add tomcat
4. Verify modifications (this script uses levels 2-4)
# chkconfig --level 234 tomcat on
# chkconfig --list tomcat
# chkconfig --list tomcat
you should see that service using levels 2, 3 and 4:
tomcat 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:off 6:off
tomcat 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:off 6:off
5. Test script start up/shutdown
# service tomcat start
# service tomcat stop
