Hi all -

I have installed Jakarta Tomcat 4.1.30 on a RedFlag 3.2 distro (identical to RedHat 7.x except Chinese) kernal 2.4.18-18. Starting Tomcat from the command line is no prob, but getting it to start from boot via /etc/rc.d/init.d init level 3 and 5 is proving a challenge.

I am running Tomcat as user:tomcat group:tomcat, which also owns the Catalina_Home directory.

Here is my /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat script, which is also getting managed via chkconfig (--add tomcat ) to make sure all the S and K's are in order in the rcd.x directories. The standard Tomcat startup.sh and shutdown.sh scripts have not been touched.

A basic init question: where/how does "service tomcat start" command get envoked at startup? Is there anything else I may be overlooking? Has anyone seen this problem where Tomcat doesn't start at boot from rc.d, or perhaps may throw some light on this one?

TIA,

ZZ.
