Please follow the below steps to set Tomcat as service:
- Go to ${TOMCAT_HOME}/bin
- Open 'openspecimen' file in edit mode. Please use openspecimen file if not present in the folder
- Search for 'CATALINA_HOME'
- Set the 'CATALINA_HOME' to your tomcat home. The value of this variable will be same as ${TOMCAT_HOME}
- Rename the file to 'os_prod' and The service will be created with the name of the filename. (i.e openspecimen). If you wish to change the service name, rename the file name you want. Also, change the service name in the file as well which are used in printing messages.
- Copy 'os_prod' the file and paste it into /etc/init.d
