We have

"The file $CATALINA_HOME/bin/commons-daemon-1.0.x-native-src/unix/native/Tomcat5.sh can be used as a template for starting Tomcat automatically at boot time from /etc/init.d. The file is currently setup for running Tomcat 5.5.x, so it will be necessary to edit it a little."

There is no file Tomcat5.sh in bin/commons-daemon-1.0.10-native-src/unix/native/ or anywhere else in the Tomcat 7.0.x installation that I can see. /

Fixed in trunk and 7.0.x and will be included in 7.0.29 onwards.
