I'm running a dedicated server with cPanel and Apache Tomcat 5.5 (installed by cPanel). Would someone be able to tell me how I can manually start and stop tomcat through SSH? I'd like to give the access to a specific account so the developer doesn't need to login through root, and doesn't need to login to the WHM.

On CentOS (redHat), I *think( you can just issue:
service tomcat stop  (or start, or status).
If that doesn't work, try :
/etc/init.d/tomcat stop

That said- on my Debian computer, tomcat is tomcat5.5, so the command is:
/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 start

Thanks but none of those work. I checked in /etc/init.d and tomcat doesn't exist there. I don't understand how cPanel is able to start/stop/restart tomcat when there aren't programs to do it.

Ok thankyou that works. One other question. Is there a way to give permission to a user apart from root to execute that?

Hmm.. I gave reseller privileges to the account in question and added "Restart Services" privileges which works fine except that the one service that doesn't show up is Tomcat. Why is that and can it be fixed?

That then defeats the purpose of having a reseller account. Never mind. I instead used "/scripts/restartsrv tomcat" which worked when "/scripts/restartsrv_tomcat" didn't.

Thanks for all your help.
