--- Comment #14 from William L Thomson Jr <wlt...@o-sinc.com> --- Please stick with a shell script. This could be useful on Gentoo. Where Tomcat does have support for instances, but needs such a script to create them. The old way uses an instance manager https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/www-servers/tomcat/files/tomcat-instance-manager-r2.bash The new way is different, but still needs something like is being discussed to create the CATALINA_BASE for any instance. For time being I create the initial instance within the package itself. https://github.com/Obsidian-StudiosInc/os-xtoo/blob/master/www-servers/tomcat/tomcat-9999.ebuild#L183 This could be integrated with the init script to create a instance on the fly, by creating a symlink to the tomcat init script with the instance name. https://github.com/Obsidian-StudiosInc/os-xtoo/blob/master/www-servers/tomcat/files/tomcat.init#L9 Thus a plain old shell script would be most preferred, as it can be integrated into many things, initial install, init script, users could invoke, etc. Not sure if you all want to add a clean up section like is in the old instance manager on Gentoo. Maybe able to use some of that, though a fair amount is Gentoo specific. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
