: I have tried doing many things in my init scripts like a "su -c
: tomcat $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh" but I have been unsuccessful.

Without error messages, log excerpts, or descriptions of what happens,
I'm flying blind here... but here's a shot:

To start Tomcat as a nonroot user, some people use jsvc:

 http://jakarta.apache.org
 (I forget the exact page, but I believe
  it's in the Commons collection)

I use Erni, but then again, I'm a little biased: ;)

I'm sure there are other ways, including 'su -c'.

Perhaps you've run into a permissions problem...?
