Hi 

Got tomcat to continue running by forcing it to start up last. (STARTUP_ORDER =
zzz)
Had to modify the pkg-plist for this to work. 
(I have to create a package, coz it's the easiest way to deploy the app.)

Would it be possible to modify the Makefile + pkg-plist and use PLIST_SUB to
merge in the
specified startup prefix ?   


Cheers 
Conrad
