Where did you get the /etc/init.d/functions?
As far as i can remember it doesnt link to tomcat.

You can try adding the tomcat startup commands via..

/etc/rc.boot just make a 775 *perm* file so it will run on your next boot.
I also remember that you need to identify your JAVA_HOME and export it, etc.

That's a redhat thing. Debian doesn't have that.

You need a Debianized startup script, the Redhat version won't work.

/etc/rc.boot is officially deprecated. It doesn't even exist on
new installs. It was also never meant to start daemons from.
Do not use it.

Read /etc/init.d/README and /etc/init.d/skeleton to see how to
do things the right (debian) way.

Mike.
