1、 将该文件放在 /etc/init.d目录下，以后就可以使用service tomcat start/stop/status/restart等命令了
2、 在/etc/rc.d/rc3.d目录下，执行 ln –s /etc/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99tomcat

这样，开机就会自动启动Tomcat了。

3.如果不能运行，请检查
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/tomcat
chmod 755 apache-tomcat-5.5.25/
vi /etc/passwd
修改启动用户如
apache 的/sbin/nologin 为/bin/bash

4、 脚本
#!/bin/sh
#
# Start staff.macaufly.net webserver
# Currently installed under /home/jira and should moved to /home/tomcat later
#

TOMCAT_BIN=/home/tomcat6/bin
TOMCAT_USER=apache
