We stop and start tomcat using the command 'service tomcat6_XXX stop' (or start) where XXX is a 3-digit code for the particular instrance of tomcat. > And how do these Tomcat(s) get started when you do reboot the server ? > They get started by /etc/init.d/rc.d entries when the server boots, which are calling the same scripts. > Obviously, something different is happening in one case or the other. > Since the JVM which runs Tomcat, and the Tomcat code itself, > is (presumably) the same in both cases, logic would have it > that the suspect must be outside Tomcat itself. > I can't disagree with the logic.
