And how familar are you with the functioing of your specific Linux 
distribution? Some Linuxes (Redhat, don't know Suse),
need a link in the respective rc5.d (if you running at runlevel 5 
which I assume), like

cd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d
ln -s ../init.d/tomcat S99tomcat

(normally chkconfig take care of this but this is redhat only and
requires a properly constructed init script)

I don't know at the moment how this is organized in Suse Linux.
