Question

I am very new to using the terminal and using tomcat.
I had already installed tomcat yesterday and it was working, however today when I turn on my computer again, it is not working, I am assuming I need to start it up again , but I don’t know how.

Can somebody explain to me or write the code to start it up please?

Thanks in advance!

Here’s the instructions for the catalina.sh shell script that controls Tomcat.

The Tomcat control scripts resides under the bin directory inside the
Tomcat home (Where you have Tomcat installed). For the Unix or Unix
flavored operating systems the scripts with extention “.sh” needs to
be executed

catalina.sh provides a lot of options/controls, but startup.sh can be used to simply start it.
