To run tomcat as a service first create a init file as following steps: create init script in /etc/init.d/tomcat8 folder as: To run tomcat as a service first create a init file as following steps: create init script in /etc/init.d/tomcat8 folder as:

#!/bin/bash

   ### BEGIN INIT INFO
   # Provides: tomcat7
   # Required-Start: $network
   # Required-Stop: $network
   # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
   # Default-Stop: 0 1 6
   # Short-Description: Start/Stop Tomcat server  
   ### END INIT INFO

   PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

   start() {
    sh /var/opt/tomcat8/bin/startup.sh
    }
   stop() {
    sh /var/opt/tomcat8/bin/shutdown.sh
    }
   case $1 in
   start|stop) $1;;
   restart) stop; start;;
    *) echo "Run as $0 "; exit 1;;
   Esac

and then save it and give 777 permission to this file. after that you can start the tomcat with start/stop/restart command as: /etc/init.d/tomcat8 start
