Hi all, I' ve been bitten by the fact that tomcat from ports installs a binary script to control its status. The unfortunate fact is that when you upgrade the jdk, the port has to be upgraded too, since it contains a hardcoded reference to the java program's path. This could be tolerated in a personal system, but on a farm-like environment with more than a dozen hosts, it becomes a maintenance nightmare. I have resorted temporarily to creating symlinks from jdk1.4.2 to jdk1.4.1, but overall I agree with Sheldon Hearn's opinion in: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20031215123601.GU13737 Could we please provide an regular rc.d script as we do for every other service?
