Hi Achilleus, On Wed, Jul 20, 2005 at 05:31:48PM +0300, Achilleus Mantzios wrote: > I have probably missed something, but > why can't tomcat be started as a shellscript > as jboss does? Well, actually jboss is launched using an executable which is also a C program... But actually I tend to agree with you on the shell script front. There may have been some historical reason to the tomcatctl.c program but I believe the most clean approach is probably the one from PR 38018 [1]. I have been trying to get the commons-daemon stuff working but there are still issues (e.g. it takes forever to shutdown the service) to overcome and I don't see what jsvc does actually provide more than what catalina.sh + rcNG already do. I am starting to think that jsvc is good when your system don't provide features such as the ones that are provided by rcNG (PID file, run as user, start/stop...) Please, all people motivated by this issue have a look at PR 33018 [1] and tell me if there is something wrong with a plain rcNG shell script. Whether there is indeed some mandatory feature that can only be provided by some C program or not, we need to know it so we can already close some PRs and find a solution, at last. FYI, a ports CVS freeze is coming (6.0 release) in a few days now... Herve [1] http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/38018
