TOMCAT9-INSTANCE-CREATE(2)

💖 TOMCAT9-INSTANCE-CREATE(2) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the tomcat9-instance-create manual page (section 2, if you're keeping score 👑). this is the one that spins up a whole entire Tomcat 9 vibe of your very own. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

tomcat9-instance-create — creates a Tomcat 9 instance 🐱

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

tomcat9-instance-create [OPTIONS] DIRECTORYNAME

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so like, the tomcat9-instance-create script creates a directory that has all the required Tomcat 9 CATALINA_BASE elements in it 💅. the whole point? so a user can run a separate Tomcat 9 instance with its own configuration, its own libraries, or its own web applications — like, your stuff, not shared with anyone else's. main character energy fr fr 🦋

and not me forgetting the best part: bin/startup.sh and bin/shutdown.sh scripts get generated too, so you can actually start and stop the instance. iconic. it's giving "set up once, vibe forever" 🫶

💜 DIRECTORYNAME

the name of the directory where the instance is gonna be created. it should not exist — like, don't pre-make it — because it gets created automatically for you. no cap, just let the script do its thing 🌈

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -p HTTPPORT — the TCP port to use for the default HTTP connector in the instance. the default port is 8080 ✨
• -c CONTROLPORT — the TCP port to use for the Tomcat shutdown control port. the default port is 8005 🎀
• -w MAGICWORD — the magic word that, when sent to the control port, will trigger the shutdown of the Tomcat instance. the default word is SHUTDOWN 🔥

ngl bestie, that magic word is literally doing the "open sesame" of shutting your server down, so keep it in mind 🫣
