Unix Scripts

The following scripts are examples which could be set up to run when the tomcat user logs in. In some installations these scripts may be run without change however the final scripts should be checked against the latest recommendations from the Apache group.

Script: .bashrc

Install in the tomcat home directory

# .bashrc

# Source global definitions

if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then

     . /etc/bashrc

fi

# User specific aliases and functions

# .bash_profile

Script: .bash_profile

Install in the tomcat home directory

Change the settings for:

• JAVA_HOME

according to your setup.

Also change memory configuration (especially the maximum memory –Xmx) according to the memory on your server and server tuning.

# Get the aliases and functions

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then

     . ~/.bashrc

fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

# base settings

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

# java

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/jre6

export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

# JAVA_OPTS standard settings

export JAVA_OPTS='-Xms5000m -Xmx15000m -Xss1024k -verbose:gc -Djava.awt.headless=true'

# JAVA_OPTS remove debug settings

# export JAVA_OPTS='-Xms5000m -Xmx15000m -Xss1024k -verbose:gc -Djava.awt.headless=true -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n'

# JAVA_OPTS profiler settings

# export JAVA_OPTS="-Xms5000m -Xmx15000m -Xss512k -verbose:gc $JPROFILER_OPTS"

# tomcat

export TOMCAT_HOME=/opt/tomcat

export PATH=$PATH:$TOMCAT_HOME/bin

For Oracle

Add settings to .bash_profile for:

• ORACLE_HOME
• ORACLE_SID

according to your setup. For example:

# oracle

export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1

export ORACLE_SID=test1

export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin

Script: tomcat

Install in /etc/rc.d/init.d and create a soft link in (for example) /etc/rc3.d to force startup on login

#!/bin/bash

#

# Run level script to start tomcat

USER="tomcat"

DIR="/opt/tomcat"

case "$1" in

        start)

        echo  "*** Starting Tomcat *** "

        su - $USER -c "cd $DIR; startup.sh"

        ;;

        stop)

        echo  "*** Stopping Tomcat *** "

        su - $USER -c "shutdown.sh"

        ;;

        restart)

        $0 stop
