Hmm... Why didn't the rpm packager create at least a simple
readme saying how to stop and start this software?
Because this is Red Hat administration 101 and all the system daemons are
managed this way (mtas, httpd servers, etc). In fact it's not even Red Hat
specific because this kind of initialisation script is standardised at the
LSB level. There is absolutely nothing special about tomcat behaving like
the rest of the system. I doubt all the other daemons have a readme
explaining this either.
_HOWEVER_ should you feel like improving the packages documentation (or
other) patches are accepted at least on jpackage-discuss(a)zarb.org and
https://www.jpackage.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=tomcat5
from where they'll eventually be merged in the fedora packages (it'll work
the other way too, the merge is done both ways).
