These instructions are related to installing and running Tomcat 7 as a service, which means that will be launched at system boot and will be closed properly on system shutdown.
Running as a Linux Service
For security reasons you shouldn't run Tomcat as root. It is better to create a user named openkm and run Tomcat from him:
$ sudo adduser openkm
Create a file with the script:
$ sudo vim /etc/init.d/tomcat
#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: tomcat
# Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start and stop Apache Tomcat
# Description: Enable Apache Tomcat service provided by daemon.
### END INIT INFO
ECHO=/bin/echo
TEST=/usr/bin/test
TOMCAT_USER=openkm
TOMCAT_HOME=/home/openkm/tomcat-7.0.27
TOMCAT_START_SCRIPT=$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh
TOMCAT_STOP_SCRIPT=$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh
$TEST -x $TOMCAT_START_SCRIPT || exit 0
$TEST -x $TOMCAT_STOP_SCRIPT || exit 0
start() {
$ECHO -n "Starting Tomcat"
su - $TOMCAT_USER -c "$TOMCAT_START_SCRIPT &"
$ECHO "."
}
stop() {
$ECHO -n "Stopping Tomcat"
su - $TOMCAT_USER -c "$TOMCAT_STOP_SCRIPT 60 -force &"
while [ "$(ps -fu $TOMCAT_USER | grep java | grep tomcat | wc -l)" -gt "0" ]; do
sleep 5; $ECHO -n "."
done
$ECHO "."
}
case "$1" in
start)
start
;;
stop)
stop
;;
restart)
stop
sleep 30
start
;;
*)
$ECHO "Usage: tomcat {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
And make it executable:
$ sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/tomcat
Now update the run-levels:
$ sudo update-rc.d tomcat defaults Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/tomcat ... /etc/rc0.d/K20tomcat -> ../init.d/tomcat /etc/rc1.d/K20tomcat -> ../init.d/tomcat /etc/rc6.d/K20tomcat -> ../init.d/tomcat /etc/rc2.d/S20tomcat -> ../init.d/tomcat /etc/rc3.d/S20tomcat -> ../init.d/tomcat /etc/rc4.d/S20tomcat -> ../init.d/tomcat /etc/rc5.d/S20tomcat -> ../init.d/tomcat
start Tomcat service:
$ sudo service tomcat start
stop Tomcat service:
$ sudo service tomcat stop
It's also a good idea to configure Tomcat memory utilization. Edit the file $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/setenv.sh and edit the parameter JAVA_OPTS where you can increase the system memory managed by the JVM (Java Virtual Machine):
JAVA_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dfile.encoding=utf-8"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -Dlog4j.configuration=file://$CATALINA_HOME/conf/log4j.properties"
CATALINA_PID=$CATALINA_HOME/catalina.pid
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$CATALINA_HOME/lib/sigar
This example is for a system with 2 GB of RAM.
Configure on Redhat / CentOS
$ chkconfig tomcat --level 2345 on
 |
From here until the end should be the same as in Ubuntu / Debian. |
