starting a process on reboot

[Andrew Bacchi]

I'm not familiar with Tomcat, but I start my ldap service with "-user 
ldap -group ldap" in my init script.  Consult the Tomcat docs and see if 
they use the -user -group scheme.  Then make sure you have created 
tomcat in /etc/passwd, and /etc/group.

/bin/tomcat -user tomcat [-group tomcat]
