Thanks, Mark, Chris. I will pull together all these bits, and if it ends up working, I will post it here and the wiki.

Seems like the default script for running tomcat as a service should suffice just point to the Fedora tomcat
instance instead.

Hi Hardy,

I don't have one for RHEL, but below is a simple non-distro-specific
init.d script that you might find useful.

I recently used this script as a starting point for installing Fedora
as a service on ubuntu. The other critical step was defining
CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_OPTS in a new file,
/opt/fcrepo/tomcat/bin/setenv.sh   If you read the Tomcat scripts,
you'll notice that they source this setenv.sh script at Tomcat startup
time, if it's present.

#!/bin/bash

# Fedora Repository startup script (using embedded Tomcat)

RUN_AS_USER=fcrepo
CATALINA_HOME=/opt/fcrepo/tomcat

start() {
       echo "Starting Fedora Repository: "
       if [ "x$USER" != "x$RUN_AS_USER" ]; then
         su - $RUN_AS_USER -c "$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh"
       else
         $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh
       fi
       echo "done."
}
stop() {
       echo "Shutting down Fedora Repository: "
       if [ "x$USER" != "x$RUN_AS_USER" ]; then
         su - $RUN_AS_USER -c "$CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh"
       else
         $CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh
       fi
       echo "done."
}

case "$1" in
 start)
       start
       ;;
 stop)
       stop
       ;;
 restart)
       stop
       sleep 10
       start
       ;;
 *)
       echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
esac

exit 0
