I remember that somebody had an alternative implementation of daemonctl which used xml config file. Also, I have another alternative implementation which uses a simple text config file for various options (it is same as the original daemonctl except most of the hard-coded parameters have been replaced with call to take them from a config file). I once offered this version on this mailing list but there was not much interest in it. The program is a drop-in replacement for the original one, but someone would have to update the port to use it. Anyway, I think that using just shell script wouldn't be too bad either. I wonder why tomcat folks don't provide anything nicer for startup on unixes - I know that on windows platform they provide a 'apache tomcat service' which runs in background. Ari S.
