automation - I want to make Tomcat7 autostart while booting


I installed tomcat servlet but i need to autostart while booting.How to?



You need to create an init script for tomcat and add it to the correct runlevel init script.


Advice adapted from here http://www.raibledesigns.com/tomcat/boot-howto.html


Create an init script /etc/init.d/tomcat/ for tomcat, changing the value for catalina home to the correct location:


#!/bin/bash
#
# tomcat
#
# chkconfig:
# description: Start up the Tomcat servlet engine.
# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions
RETVAL=$?
CATALINA_HOME="/usr/apps/apache/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4"
case "$1" in
start)
if [ -f $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh ];
then
echo $"Starting Tomcat"
/bin/su tomcat $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh
fi
;;
stop)
if [ -f $CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh ];
then
echo $"Stopping Tomcat"
/bin/su tomcat $CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh
fi
;;
*)
echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit $RETVAL

Then add a link to the rc5.d folder - /etc/rc5.d/


sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc5.d/S71tomcat
