Beginner need help with a script

Question

I have a little experience with Linux, I am finding that darwin is a little different and not everything works the same as it does with linux.
I have a tomcat service running and i would like to automate a scrip to stop the service, update the war file, then restart the service.
I would also like to add a way to verify the service is stopped before removing and replacing the file.
Here is the current process
Terminal window 1
ssh admin@box1
/bin/Tomcat7.sh stop
ps auxww | grep box
rm /webapps/console.war
Terminal window 2
scp - /newbuild/console.war admin@box1:/webapps/console.war
Terminal window 1
/bin/Tomcat7.sh start
ps auxww |grep box
tail -100f /logs/catalina-daemon.out
repeat for box2
i do this process twice a week and would love a way to automate it

Answer 1

I tried to removing () but the script only displayed an output of "Tomcat_server_system" instead of asking me for the admin password to BOX1
The next task i need to do is add variables to the script.
I have 2 servers, each server runs 3 instances of Tomcat
I would like a prompt to ask the following
Server 2 or Server 3?
BOX2=$2server2.test.com
BOX3=$3server3.test.com
Then ask
Tomcat1, 2 or 3?
TOMCAT1=$1tomcat1
TOMCAT2=$2tomcat2
TOMCAT3=$3tomcat3
Finally it will ask
What is the build #?
BUILD#=$XX
(this could be any number, which needs to be entered into the scp line)
Based on what the user choses it would run the following code
ssh admin@${BOX} "${TOMCAT}/bin/Tomcat7.sh stop; ps auxww | grep ${BOX}; rm ${TOMCAT}/webapps/console.war"
scp - /build${BUILD}/console.war admin@${BOX}:${TOMCAT}/webapps/console.war
ssh admin@${BOX} "${TOMCAT}/bin/Tomcat7.sh start; ps auxww |grep ${BOX}; tail -100f ${TOMCAT}/logs/catalina-daemon.out"
