Looking through Tomcat's GitHub, I cannot find a sample systemd unit. Hmm... But there are lots of sample systemd units out there, like https://gist.github.com/drmalex07/e6e99dad070a78d5dab24ff3ae032ed1 . Or more generally, https://www.google.com/search?q=tomcat+systemd+service+file . And you were correct - they are forking. Jeff
