I am not very familiar with Unix OS, Let us say, after i logged in to my
unix account,
what is the command i should use to find out whether or not TomCat is
installed??

If on redhat/fedora core,
        rpm -qa|grep tomcat
will tell you if there's anything that has tomcat in the name. (Since
there are many names to tomcat packages)
        yum search tomcat
will also tell you something.

If it gets something for you, you can do
        rpm -ql "the package name you got from rpm -qa..."
will give you the installed location.

If you suspect it might be already running, you can also do
        lsof -i:8080 (you should be root.)
links localhost:8080 or just open a browser to "http://127.0.0.1:8080";
        grep tomcat /etc/passwd
or do
        lsof -i | less
        netstat -an | less
        ntsysv
and see if there are something that looks like tomcat and ask the list again with that.

On other distros it can be different so if you tell us what
        uname -a
gives, it will help.

My 2 cents.
