Installing the service on RedHat/CentOS 6 and Ubuntu Systems

Procedure

  1. Create/Copy the following script to the /etc/init.d/tomcat file:
    # chkconfig: 345 91 10
    # description: Starts and stops the Tomcat daemon.
    #
    
    # Source function library.
    . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
    
    # Get config.
    . /etc/sysconfig/network
    
    # Check that networking is up.
    [ "${NETWORKING}" = "no" ] && exit 0
    
    user=cxp
    tomcat=/u/bin/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.0.33/
    startup=$tomcat/bin/startup.sh
    shutdown=$tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
    #export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java
    
    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 "tomcat ( 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
    }
    
    start(){
     echo -n $"Starting Tomcat service: "
     #daemon -c
     su - $user -c "$startup" 
     RETVAL=$?
     echo
    }
    
    stop(){
     action $"Stopping Tomcat service: " su - $user "$shutdown"
     RETVAL=$?
     echo
    }
    
    restart(){
      stop
      start}
    
    # See how we were called.
    case "$1" in
    start)
     start
     ;;
    stop)
     stop
     ;;
    status)
          
     status tomcat
     ;;
    restart)
     restart
     ;;
    *)
     echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart}"
     exit 1
    esac
    
    exit 0
  2. Edit the user and tomcat variable values in the script to match your configuration.
  3. To make sure that the script is executable, type:
    # chmod 0755 /etc/init.d/tomcat
  4. Type in the following commands to add the service to your system:
    chkconfig --list
    chkconfig --add tomcat
