I want to change the startup parameters of tomcat6 on ubuntu, running as a service. I want to give it more memory.

What is the best way to do this?

  • As far as I know, all services will grab resources as they need them… is that incorrect? – jrg Sep 13 '11 at 10:23
  • with tomcat, because it is java I need to send a command line parameter to the service. When I say service I mean it is configured to start via a script in /etc/init.d - I haven't figured out exactly where to put this parameter... – Michael Wiles Sep 13 '11 at 10:47

The answer here worked for you according to the comments.

I would normally include the essential parts of the answer to avoid linkrot, but since this is on another Stackexchange site that won't be an issue.
