It's the simplest way to find out which port you have Tomcat listening on *NIX based systems don't allow non root uses bind to ports < 1024
jsvc http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-daemon/jsvc.html solves this problem, nobody seems to have grasped that this is what I was asking about. I know of no way to start the container, on port 80 using either startup.sh or catalina.sh using start, run or anything else. If I'm wrong then I would love to see how it's done.
