I got a tip to try out nohup again. The problem I was having earlier is that nohup tries to create a file called "nohup.out". Since I was sudo-ing to "tomcat" this was a problem because user tomcat did not have access to my user's home directories. Here's the fix: if [ $RESTART_TOMCAT -eq 1 ]then cd /tmp echo "- Startup Tomcat" sudo -u tomcat nohup /opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh sudo -u tomcat rm nohup.out Fi echo "- Tailing CATALINA.OUT" tail -f /opt/tomcat/logs/catalina.out
