You need to create an init script for tomcat and add it to the correct runlevel init script.

Advice adapted from here http://www.raibledesigns.com/tomcat/boot-howto.html

Create an init script /etc/init.d/tomcat/ for tomcat, changing the value for catalina home to the correct location:

#!/bin/bash

#

# tomcat        

#

# chkconfig: 

# description:  Start up the Tomcat servlet engine.



# Source function library.

. /etc/init.d/functions





RETVAL=$?

CATALINA_HOME="/usr/apps/apache/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4"



case "$1" in

 start)

        if [ -f $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh ];

          then

        echo $"Starting Tomcat"

            /bin/su tomcat $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh

        fi

    ;;

 stop)

        if [ -f $CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh ];

          then

        echo $"Stopping Tomcat"

            /bin/su tomcat $CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh

        fi

    ;;

 *)

    echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop}"

    exit 1

    ;;

esac



exit $RETVAL

Then add a link to the rc5.d folder - /etc/rc5.d/

sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc5.d/S71tomcat
