if you are using extracted tomcat then,

startup.sh and shutdown.sh are two script located in TOMCAT/bin/ to start and shutdown tomcat, You could use that

if tomcat is installed then

/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 start
/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 stop
/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 restart

If tomcat was installed as a service, you can also try `service tomcat6 {stop|start|restart}` – Chris White Apr 21 '12 at 16:55

@ChrisWhite How to differentiate if tomcat is installed as service or otherwise? – Gaurav Agarwal Aug 14 '12 at 12:55
Depends on your *nix install - what are you running on? – Chris White Aug 15 '12 at 13:15
This also works for Debian. – Gerome Bochmann Mar 06 '15 at 14:28
@ChrisWhite's comment should be a valid answer too – IgniteCoders Jan 31 '18 at 16:09
