Launching Tomcat

I must launch 2 instances of tomcat on a server and with the same user. I'm trying to set differents CATALINA_BASE when launching tomcat but this environment variable is not used.

That is the commands I use: 

base0=/home/$INT/inst0
base1=/home/$INT/inst1
#...

su $INT -c "CATALINA_BASE=$base0;$cathome/bin/startup.sh"
su $INT -c "CATALINA_BASE=$base1;$cathome/bin/startup.sh"

and that is what I see in the console:

Using CATALINA_BASE:   /home/mci2/tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /home/mci2/tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /home/mci2/tomcat/temp

The catalina_home is ok but not the catalina_base.

Dit I miss something?

You should use single quotes:

su -c "var=Hello; echo $var"

vs

su -c 'var=Hello; echo $var'

The shell interpretes the variables inside the double quotes, and having that you have not set the CATALINA_BASE for the env from which you execute su it replaces it with and empty string before actually executing the su.

If you are running multiple instances of Tomcat on a single host you should set CATALINA_BASE to be equal to the .../tomcat_instance1 or .../tomcat_instance2 directory as appropriate for each instance and the CATALINA_HOME environment variable to the common Tomcat installation whose files will be shared between the two instances. tomcat - CATALINA_BASE and CATALINA_HOME variables
