hi nico,<br><br>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 ...)<br>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
<br><br>eg. <br># cd /etc/rc5.d<br># ln -s /etc/init.d/tomcat tomcat<br><br>hth<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/17/06, <b class="gmail_sendername"><a href="mailto:nickm@absa.co.za">nickm@absa.co.za</a></b> <
