It all depends upon the file permissions of catalina.out and the directory in which it resides. Deleting catalina.out certainly does not require root access in all cases, but I'm sure there are cases where root is required (e.g. because you are running Tomcat as root). > I can re-check that shortly.

You should write your /etc/init.d scripts in such a way that they run under the proper user no matter who invokes them. For instance, if you want to run Tomcat as 'tomcat' then your init.d script should probably do "sudo -u tomcat $CATALINA_BASE/bin/catalina.sh start" or something to that effect. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlCqmfEACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PD8BgCgrexYyS13j84h9SJx4S2/eZl1 ZYUAn0N5SEsmWRJSuO8ezspEbYDl5+f0 =7zTN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
