Bug ID: 62140
Summary: catalina.sh should document the verbs it accepts as
command-line arguments
Product: Tomcat 9
Version: unspecified
Hardware: PC
OS: Mac OS X 10.1
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: ch...@christopherschultz.net
Target Milestone: -----
The script catalina.sh (and .bat) has a section of comments at the top that
describes all of the environment variables that can be used to control it, but
it does not list the various verbs it will accept (e.g. start, run, stop, jpda,
version, etc.).
Running `catalina.sh` with an unrecognized verb will produce a brief "help"
description of each of the commands. Having either the same brief (or, better
yet, long-form) description of the commands in the comments of the file would
be helpful.
Of, if there is fear that the descriptions will diverge, perhaps a notation
could be made at the top of the file to "see the usage description at the
bottom of this file" or even suggest running catalina.sh with a verb like
"help" to get the help text.
