Let Tomcat is download and installed under /opt/tomcat
.
Also, let tomcat
be a non-provileged user under which the server will be running.
We assume that we keep server's binaries under /opt/tomcat
and we will create a server instance named foo
under /var/tomcat/
(carrying its own conf
, logs
, webapps
, work

Create executable file /opt/foo/setup-foo.sh
