./magnolia_control.sh start && tail -f ../logs/catalina.out
The first command stops Magnolia. The first part of the second command ./magnolia_control.sh start
launches Magnolia. The second part && tail -f ../logs/catalina.out
displays log messages written to
log file. This makes it easier to troubleshoot startup errors.
Magnolia reports startup information. If startup fails, look for the reason in the report. In a successful startup the last line reads something like:
