Bin

The startup and shutdown scripts merely call the important one: tomcat.sh. This script does two things:

  • Guesses a CLASSPATH

  • Passes command-line arguments to org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat. These include start and stop, plus the location of the appropriate server.xml file (see later), which configures Tomcat. For instance, if you want to use /etc/server_1.xml with Tomcat and Apache, you would start Tomcat with: 

    bin/tomcat.sh start -f/etc/server_1.xml
