Thanks to Christopher , Rainer, and Rainer again. I will try to understand the jsvc.
But for SMF, because we don't run tomcat as root, I am not sure if SMF can be set and run by normal user. I need check that first. My idea is, for most applications, normally I get three options: start, stop and status. But tomcat's catalina.sh has only two choices, startup and shutdown. I can't find exist command/script to show the tomcat status. If I can show the status, I can write the script to start the tomcat, when its status show tomcat service is down. So is it possible to ask tomcat develop team to write a general script or tool to detect tomcat status directly?
