Problem executing a command after startup(OSX 10.7)

[Vadim Korotchenko]

Hi, I am having some issues with tomcat on startup. In my program tomcat executes an Imagemagick command but it fails to do so right after startup,but if I either start tomcat manually or restart tomcat using(sudo shutdown.sh and startup.sh) everything works fine. I suspect it has something to do with the plist, but I hit a wall. This is what I have so far:

- my plist calls a script which is a launchd wrapper:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple$ <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Disabled</key> <false/> <key>EnvironmentVariables</key> <dict> <key>CATALINA_HOME</key> <string>/Library/Tomcat/Home</string> <key>JAVA_HOME</key> <string>/Library/Java/Home</string> </dict> <key>Label</key> <string><<NAME>></string> <key>OnDemand</key> <false/> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/Library/Tomcat/Home/bin/launchd_wrapper.sh</string> </array> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> <key>UserName</key> <string><<USERNAME-NOT ROOT>></string> </dict> </plist>

- the script starts tomcat

#!/bin/bash

function shutdown()
{
#echo MRX:tomcat-launchd.sh.shutdown(): $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh stop
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh stop
}
echo MRX:tomcat-launchd.sh: CATALINA_HOME incoming = $CATALINA_HOME

export CATALINA_HOME=/Library/Tomcat/Home 
export TOMCATJVMPID=$$

echo MRX:tomcat-launchd.sh: $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh start
echo MRX:tomcat-launchd.sh: TOMCATJVMPID = $TOMCATJVMPID

sudo $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh


echo MRX:tomcat-launchd.sh: trap shutdown HUP INT QUIT ABRT KILL ALRM TERM TSTP

# Wait here until we receive a signal that tells Tomcat to stop..
trap shutdown HUP INT QUIT ABRT KILL ALRM TERM TSTP

echo MRX:tomcat-launchd.sh "waiting for process $TOMCATJVMPID"
#wait $TOMCATJVMPID
while [[ ${?} == 0 ]]      # Repeat until the process has terminated.
do
    sleep 1s              # Wait a bit before testing.
    ps -p $TOMCATJVMPID >/dev/null  # Check if the process has terminated.
done

echo MRX:tomcat-launchd.sh: DONE

The only other thing I have found is that when I run "sudo ./launchd_wrapper.sh" the console displays:

sudo: <<USERNAME>> : TTY=ttys002 ; PWD=/Library/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.29/bin ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/Library/Tomcat/Home/bin/startup.sh

whereas if I run "sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/myplist.plist "

sudo: <<USERNAME>> : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/Library/Tomcat/Home/bin/startup.sh

Any thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreceiated
Thank you
