Runing Tomcat as Linux service

Feb 6th, 2007 by robert

Not big deal but I am bit tired to google for this script each time I setup new box. Now I know where to get it without spending two valuable extra minutes to google. First create /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcatd :

PLAIN TEXT

CODE:

#!/bin/bash
#
# Startup script for Tomcat
#
# chkconfig: 345 84 16
# description: Tomcat jakarta JSP server
TOMCAT_HOME=/opt/tomcat
TOMCAT_START=$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh
TOMCAT_STOP=$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh
#Necessary environment variables
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.5.0_10
export CATALINA_HOME=/opt/tomcat
#export LD_KERNEL_ASSUME="2.2.5"
# Source function library.
###. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
# Source networking configuration.
###. /etc/sysconfig/network
# Check that networking is up.
### [ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0
#Check for tomcat script
if [ ! -f $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/catalina.sh ]
then
echo "Tomcat not availableÃ-Â³"
exit
fi
start() {
echo -n "Starting Tomcat: "
su tomcat -c $TOMCAT_START
echo
touch /var/lock/subsys/tomcatd
# We may need to sleep here so it will be up for apache
sleep 3
#Instead should check to see if apache is up by looking for httpd.pid
}
stop() {
echo -n $"Shutting down Tomcat: "
su tomcat -c $TOMCAT_STOP
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/tomcatd
echo
}
status() {
ps ax --width=1000 | grep "[o]rg.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start" | awk '{printf $1 " "}' | wc | awk '{print $2}'> /tmp/tomcat_process_count.txt
read line </tmp/tomcat_process_count.txt
if [ $line -gt 0 ]; then
echo -n "tomcatd ( pid "
ps ax --width=1000 | grep "[o]rg.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start" | awk '{printf $1 " "}'
echo -n ") is running..."
echo
else
echo "Tomcat is stopped"
fi
}
restart(){
stop
start
}
# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
start
;;
stop)
stop
;;
status)
status
;;
restart|reload)
restart
;;
*)
echo "Usage: tomcat {start|stop|status|restart|reload}"
RETVAL=1

exit $RETVAL
