In general, is it assumed that all responses given to the list assume the OP is running a version of Linux, if they don't state the OS?
For example, I read the post about "Tomcat upgrades/security patching best practices" and the advice given is to modify init.d script. I don't recall seeing the OP indicate they run Linux and the list usually gently bashes people for not being specific about their environment. Since I run Tomcat on Windows, I don't know what the init.d script is, but reading that response I get the feeling the that Tomcat on Linux is "alot" easier to manage than Tomcat on Windows, especially if you are running Tomcat as a Windows service. I would have thought that another option to that post would be to use the "appBase" attribute of a Host element and just move your webapps out of the traditional location located within the Tomcat installation directory. But I guess I didn't understand the OP. Is it time for us to go to Linux?
