How to restart service tomcat in solaris?

Question

Hello Today I have problem related to restart service apache tomcat in solaris ? Can you help me about cmd to restart?

Answer 1

It all depends on how you originally installed Tomcat on your Solaris server. Below I'm providing two different answers depending on how you've installed Tomcat.

As a SMF service

Assumption: You have installed Tomcat using Solaris' IPS package manager. (which also means you're on a fairly recent version of Solaris, not an ancient one)

In that case it will be installed as a true service in Solaris and restarting will be done just like any other service in Solaris, namely

$ svcadm restart <servicename>

example:

$ svcadm restart network/http:tomcat8

As a standalone thingy not integrated with Solaris' SMF feature

Assumption: You've simply just downloaded the tarballs and unpacked them on the server.

In this case you'll have to rely directly on Tomcat's own start/stop scripts which you can find in Tomcat's bin directory. You cannot do a restart directly, so what you do is:

$ bin/shutdown.sh
$ bin/startup.sh

Example commands,

1. svcadm disable tomcat
2. svcs tomcat
3. svcadm clear tomcat
4. svcadm enable tomcat
5. svcadm restart tomcat
6. svcadm enable tomcat
