Here's what I use (this is on Solaris, but should be the same kind of
idea)...

# NAME

#
# SYNOPSIS
# tomcat [start|stop]
#

# Script to start and stop the Tomcat Java application server.
#
############### ############### ############### ############### ############### ###

CATALINA_HOME=/opt/tomcat
TOMCAT_USER=web
JAVA_HOME=/opt/j2sdk

case $1 in
'start')
su - $TOMCAT_USER >/dev/null 2>&1 -c "JAVA_HOME=$JAV A_HOME
CATALINA_HOME=$ CATALINA_HOME $CATALINA
_HOME/bin/startup.sh"
;;

'stop')
su - $TOMCAT_USER >/dev/null 2>&1 -c "JAVA_HOME=$JAV A_HOME
CATALINA_HOME=$ CATALINA_HOME $CATALINA
_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh"
;;

*)
echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
;;
esac
