rctomcat6 start does not work

I am using OpenSuse 11 with the native tomcat6 install and when I call rctomcat6 start it the bash cannot find it so I go into /etc/init.d and I see tomcat6 there, however, it still wont start even by calling tomcat6 start from that folder.

Any ideas?

Here is my path
/usr/bin:/sbin:/home/jgleason/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin:/opt/kde3/bin

Hi,

The ‘rc’ + init.d scripts have been SUSE specific for many versions, I believe. If you want to create one that is missing, then as root, do:

ln -s /etc/init.d/tomcat6 /sbin/rctomcat6

‘rctomcat6’ needs to exist in /sbin or somewhere like that. If the
tomcat package doesn’t create that file then you’ll need to create it on
your own. If the service doesn’t start when you call the script
explicitly then something else is wrong, though. What do you get in
your error logs for Tomcat?

Good luck.

So I tried creating the link you suggested

Now if I run /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start it comes back ok but if I run rctomcat6 start it fails! Any ideas?
