Tomcat 4.0.6 Autostart On Boot

[Karl Balsmeier]

Context: I am running ApacheStrong 1.3.26 and Tomcat 4.0.6. I am unable to update these due to a caveat with our SAS software install.

Question: What I am trying to do is look at the system startup logs for HPUX 11i for errors related to tomcat startup scripts stored in /sbin/rc.config.d, and /opt/tomcat4.0.6.

For example, In BSD I usually #tail /var/log/messages. How is this accomplished in the HPUX file system, i.e., where are the system startup log messages stored?

If there is a startup script for it (/sbin/rc.?.d) then there should be an entry in /etc/rc.log.

The program itself may have some further logging enabled internally within it's own application.

The auto startup script is in /sbin/init.d/hpws_tomcat. I haven't looked at what is written in /etc/rclog. However, I usually look at the messages found in:
/opt/hpws/tomcat/logs
There is usually 3-4 different log files.
