I have installed Tomcat 7 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS which runs on an Amzon EC2 instance. Now I wish tomcat should restart automatically on system reboot.



I read this blog which suggest adding below script to /etc/init.d/tomcat7:



# Tomcat auto-start

#

# description: Auto-starts tomcat

# processname: tomcat

# pidfile: /var/run/tomcat.pid



case $1 in

start)

sh /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/startup.sh

;;

stop) 

sh /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/shutdown.sh

;;

restart)

sh /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/shutdown.sh

sh /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/startup.sh

;;

esac 

exit 0


and issue the following commands: 



sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/tomcat7



sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/tomcat7 /etc/rc1.d/K99tomcat



sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/tomcat7 /etc/rc2.d/S99tomcat



sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat7 restart


My Questions




  1. The tomcat7 already has script in it, where do we have to paste the suggested script?

  2. Is the suggested procedure correct?

Create the init script in /etc/init.d/tomcat7 with the contents as per below (your script should work too but I think this one adheres more closely to the standards).



This way Tomcat will start only after network interfaces have been configured.



Init script contents:



#!/bin/bash



### BEGIN INIT INFO

# Provides:        tomcat7

# Required-Start:  $network

# Required-Stop:   $network

# Default-Start:   2 3 4 5

# Default-Stop:    0 1 6

# Short-Description: Start/Stop Tomcat server

### END INIT INFO



PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin



start() {

 sh /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/startup.sh

}



stop() {

 sh /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/shutdown.sh

}



case $1 in

  start|stop) $1;;

  restart) stop; start;;

  *) echo "Run as $0 <start|stop|restart>"; exit 1;;

esac


Change its permissions and add the correct symlinks automatically:



chmod 755 /etc/init.d/tomcat7

update-rc.d tomcat7 defaults


And from now on it will be automatically started and shut down upon entering the appropriate runlevels. You can also control it with service tomcat7 <stop|start|restart>
