[opencms-dev] AA Starting Tomcat under Linux

[Siegfried Puchbauer]

hi nico,

maybe it would be a good idea to google around for an init script for tomcat
on suse ... the script has to handle parameters (start, stop, restart ...)
In order to make tomcat start when your server boots (suse), you have to
make a sybolic link in an runlevel directory to your init script

eg.
# cd /etc/rc5.d
# ln -s /etc/init.d/tomcat tomcat
