Now this is under Suse 9.2 linux, so keep that in mind ;)
Create a file such as tomcat5 in /etc/init.d with the contents:

# Startup script for the tomcat 5 Server

# chkconfig: 345 92 8

serve \
# HTML files, jsp and servlet content.
# processname: jsvs.exec (the helper class to start tomcat as root and
then change to a new user)

# Source function library.

If I remember right I had to unpack and compile jsvc. I think that is
all there is to it. This starts tomcat at root, via the init.d startup
process, and then switches the process to the user specified by
$TOMCAT_USER. Works great.

How did you get this to work? I tried following the directions and it
doesn't work for me.
