     Hi Folks

      Well it's taken a long time but I have a working solution - thanks to lots
    of help from this list. Special thanks go to Oisin McGuinness, Tom Swigg and
    Eric Sisson for their perseverence! However, it was Eric who gave me the
    solution after he'd read the correspondence.

     Since init insists on issuing a HUP to its children, Eric came up with the
    idea
    of indirectly calling the tomcat startup using at(1 ) so that init cannot
    reach it.
    I have tested this and can confirm that it too works for me.

     Here's the essence of the init script for the startup case :
    ___________________________________________________________________________

      case "$1" in
    'start')

       /bin/at now + 1 minute << END
            
       nohup su tomcat -c "$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh start >
    /tmp/tomcat_start.log" 2>&1 &
    END
     ;;

    'stop') - *** usual stop stuff here *** etc.
    ___________________________________________________________________________

      I can't believe how much time I've spent on this!

      Eric - and all who chipped in - thank you.

      This is a great list. I wish we weren't migrating off Tru64.... :-(

      Lindsay

     P.S. Just off to check that tomcat really is still running.. ;-)
