在linux下如果想让tomcat在开机时自启动,可以将启动代码写到/etc/rc.local里面。但是,这样的话,tomcat将以root权限运行,这是不安全的。因此,要想办法让tomcat以非特权身份作为daemon运行。
要将tomcat作为linux的daemon运行,需要commons-daemon工程的jsvc工具,tomcat的bin目录里已经自带了这个工具的源码。
解压commons-daemon-native.tar.gz,进入unix子目录,然后configure。configure的时候需要指定jdk路径或者当前环境中有JAVA_HOME变量。
接下来在make的时候可能会出现如下错误:
ar: libservice.a: Malformed archivemake[1]: *** [libservice.a] Error 1
这是一个已知的bug:
The file bin/commons-daemon-native.tar.gz contains dirty (already compiled)code. On some systems this causes "make" to return the following error:ar: libservice.a: Malformed archiveThe solution is to run "make clean" before running "make".I believe that "make clean" should be run before creating the tgz file, so thatthere are no compiled/generated files laying around.
make以后得到jsvc文件,复制到tomcat的bin目录中。另外在native目录下有一个Tomcat5.sh,是用于tomcat自启动的一个模板,我们可以修改它快速得到一个符合要求的启动文件。在这里,我将它修改为如下内容:

在以的脚本里面指定了TOMCAT_USER,jsvc将先以特权身份启动tomcat,随后切换到指定的用户,这样可以使tomcat以非特权身份监听需要特权的端口。
将脚本复制到/etc/init.d,改名为tomcat6,然后执行
update-rc.d tomcat6 defaults
配置完成以后,tomcat就可以以非特权用户作为daemon运行了。
