I run the /bin/bash -l -c '/tomcat/bin/startup.sh' by shell manually, it will normal

Does your startup script depend on some environment variable? You can add "env" to the startup.sh to check the variables.

Are you sure about your start program ? To run tomcat as a specific user (say for example goofy), you should try something like

start program = "/sbin/runuser --login goofy -c 'cd /tomcat && /tomcat/bin/startup.sh'"
