RH linux系统中，如果简单的将$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh放在/etc/rc.local中，并不能使之自动启动。这里有些工作要做。假设已经安装好了jsvc（如何安装jsvc，请查看tomcat随机文档），在此，只写出tomcat的启动脚本如下：
#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup Script for Tomcat5
#
# chkconfig: 345 88 14
# description: Tomcat Daemon
# processname: jsvc
# pidfile: /var/run/jsvc.pid
# config:
#
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
#
# Adapt the following lines to your configuration
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk
CATALINA_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat
DAEMON_HOME=$CATALINA_HOME/bin
TOMCAT_USER=tomcat5
# for multi instances adapt those lines.
TMP_DIR=/usr/local/tomcat/temp
PID_FILE=/usr/local/tomcat/logs/jsvc.pid
CATALINA_BASE=/usr/local/tomcat
CATALINA_OPTS=
CLASSPATH=
$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar:
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/commons-daemon.jar:
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/bootstrap.jar
case "$1" in
start)
#
# Start Tomcat
#
$DAEMON_HOME/jsvc
-user $TOMCAT_USER
-home $JAVA_HOME
-Dcatalina.home=$CATALINA_HOME
-Dcatalina.base=$CATALINA_BASE
-Djava.io.tmpdir=$TMP_DIR
-wait 10
-pidfile $PID_FILE
-outfile $CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out
-errfile '&1'
$CATALINA_OPTS
-cp $CLASSPATH
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap
#
# To get a verbose JVM
#-verbose
# To get a debug of jsvc.
#-debug
exit $?
;;
stop)
#
# Stop Tomcat
#
$DAEMON_HOME/jsvc
-stop
-pidfile $PID_FILE
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap
exit $?
;;
*)
echo "Usage tomcat.sh start/stop"
exit 1;;
esac将此script放到/etc/init.d/目录中，加上可执行权限，就可以用chkconfig来配置了！
