I did some internet search, and I guess I had to do # systemctl edit tomcat@[myUniqueInstanceName] and then insert into the edit windows [Service] LimitNoFile=8200 and save So I double the no of open files for that specific instance. I Would be grateful if you could confirm or correct this. > > Back to the question of the OP ... sounds like you are in the perfect area of requirements for a unit template with each tomcat instance from the template and override User in each to make them different and individually controllable. To start my various Tomcat instances I execute various calls of: systemctl start tomcat@[myUniqueInstanceName] So I guess Fedora tomcat package already uses unit templates. In /usr/lib/systemd/system/tomcat@.service unit file I find > - - - - < [Service] . . . Environment="NAME=%I" EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/tomcat@%I ExecStart=/usr/libexec/tomcat/server start . . . User=tomcat Group=tomcat > - - - - < So, there is a mechanism to perform an instance specific configuration using a file in /etc/sysconfig, nevertheless the user name is hard coded into the unit file, I guess. So my only options are to either modify the unit file to make the user configurable (and provide a patch to Fedora) or to use the "systemctl edit tomcat@[myinstancename]" facility to overwrite the user per instance? Thanks for your support and help.
