CentOS - May 2006 - Starting tomcat on bootup

I just installed Tomcat and when I run the chkconfig -add tomcat, it tells
me that tomcat does not support chkconfig.

 

Suggestions?

In order to support chkconfig, an init script must:
1.  Be located in /etc/rc.d/init.d (which /etc/init.d is a symlink to)
2.  Have a commented out line that contains "chkconfig: <default
runlevels
for this service> <start priority> <stop priority>"
3.  Have a commented out line that contains "description: <a description
of the service>"
4.  Upon successful service startup, place a lock file in /var/lock/subsys 
that matches the name of the service script.  Upon successful service 
shutdown, the lockfile must be removed.

It is worth noting that you must use "chkconfig --add <service 
name>" in order to have the service script placed in the
shutdown/restart
runlevels correctly.

There are many great examples already provided by existing services.  They 
should be fairly straightforward reading.

Best of luck,
Barry

That was it!  I didn't have the chkconfig: line...

Thanks.

Here's the init script we use, if it helps at all:

#

PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${PATH}

TOMCAT_START=/opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh

TOMCAT_STOP=/opt/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh

export JAVA_HOME PATH

start()
{
        if [ -x ${TOMCAT_START} ]; then
                echo "Starting tomcat server..."
                ${TOMCAT_START} &
        else
                echo "Cannot start tomcat server"
        fi
}

stop()
{
        if [ -x ${TOMCAT_STOP} ]; then
                echo "Stopping tomcat server..."
                ${TOMCAT_STOP} &
        else
                echo "Cannot stop tomcat server"
        fi
}

restart()
{
        stop
        sleep 10
        start
}

status()
{
        echo "No status available for tomcat server"
}

case "$1" in
'start')
        start
        ;;
'stop')
        stop
        ;;
'restart')
        restart
        ;;
'status')
        status
        ;;
*)
        echo "Please supply an argument [start|stop|restart]"
esac
