If you read the comments in these scripts, you'll see what they are supposed to do.

  • catalina.sh - does everything
  • startup.sh - calls catalina.sh start
  • tomcat8.sh - doesn't exist

You can start Tomcat in the foreground like this:

$ $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh run

Or you can start it in the background like this:

$ $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh start

There are other verbs that catalina.sh accepts. You can find those by running:

$ $CATALINA_BASE/bin/catalina.sh -h
