Update: while it is the case that backslash-escaping the forward slashes in JAVA_OPTS in /etc/default/tomcat6 did allow the tomcat6 package to configure successfully, it now means that the backslashes are in the pathname in the command line, as reported by 'ps', like so (the problem is at HeapDumpPath):
# ps -fwwwu tomcat6 UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD tomcat6 19698 1 11 02:48 ? 00:00:47 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/var/lib/tomcat6/conf/logging.properties -Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled -XX:+TraceClassLoading -XX:+TraceClassUnloading -XX:HeapDumpPath=\/var\/log\/tomcat6\/java_pid_4.hprof -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/usr/share/tomcat6/endorsed -classpath /usr/share/tomcat6/bin/bootstrap.jar -Dcatalina.base=/var/lib/tomcat6 -Dcatalina.home=/usr/share/tomcat6 -Djava.io.tmpdir=/tmp/tomcat6-tmp org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start It is not clear to me that this will work as desired/expected... So: still a bug for sure. -- Steve Lane System Administrator, Scientific Computing Joint BioEnergy Institute Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
