Autorun Tomcat in Linux Mandriva - java.io.IOException: invalid argument

Question

Here's the autorun script, which i use -

#!/bin/sh

    # description: Tomcat start/stop script
    # chkconfig:

    TOMCAT_PATH=/java/apache-tomcat-7.0.32/bin
    TOMCAT_START=$TOMCAT_PATH/startup.sh
    TOMCAT_STOP=$TOMCAT_PATH/shutdown.sh

    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
    }

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

I put it in -

/etc/rc.d/init.d/

I added it to the startup:

/sbin/chkconfig --add --level 345 tomcat

But when i reboot the system, watch the logs and see -

catalina.out:

...
INFO: Stopping service Catalina

    at java.util.TimerThread.mainLoop(Timer.java:555)
    at java.util.TimerThread.run(Timer.java:505)

The process does not start.

But if i execute the command -

/etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat start

The process starts well.

Why does it not start automatically?

Thanks!

I changed a little shell-script:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup script for Tomcat
#

JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_09" ;
JRE_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_09/jre;
CATALINA_HOME=/java/tomcat-7.0.27;
export JAVA_HOME && export JRE_HOME &&$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh &&$CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh

case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting Tomcat"
su - tomcat -c $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping Tomcat"
su - tomcat -c $CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh
;;
restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac

exit 0

Then put it in

/etc/rc.d/init.d

Added the rights to run:

# chmod +x /etc/init.d/ tomcat

Added symbolic links:

ln -s /etc/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc0.d/K91tomcat
ln -s /etc/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc1.d/K91tomcat
ln -s /etc/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc2.d/S91tomcat
ln -s /etc/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc3.d/S91tomcat
ln -s /etc/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc4.d/S91tomcat
ln -s /etc/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc5.d/S91tomcat
ln -s /etc/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc6.d/K91tomcat

Now all is well.

reboot;

catalina.out:

...
INFO: Server startup in 113947 ms

Thanks a lot!
