tomcat41ctl is a FreeBSD port specific tool for controlling tomcat daemon but instead of tomcat standards scripts files, actually there are no way to pass to jvm some parameters... but sometimes, you need to do that! so the proposal patch enable tomcat41ctl for reading a "configuration file" that contains parameters to java vm How-To-Repeat: be patient and install java install tomcat ;)
