Make sure there is a valid user "tomcat" and that this user has rw permissions in
the $CATALINA_HOME/conf and $CATALINA_HOME/logs directories. Also make sure that
$JAVA_HOME is set. You will start Tomcat as user "tomcat" to avoid running it as root.
Save the following scripts as
/etc/init.d/tomcat.They will automatically be read and run at boot time.
Check the log files if it does not start properly.
Do like below for rc3.d rc5.d rc4.d
Make a link to it from
/etc/rc5.d such as:
cd /etc/rc5.d
sudo ln -s ../init.d/tomcat S71tomcat
Script for init.d
#!/bin/bash
#
# tomcat where is tomcat mention is script that need to replace with user
#
# chkconfig: 345 20 80
# description: Start up the Tomcat servlet engine.
# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions
