First I thank very much for the replies. Please continue forward instruction. this service, written in Java, will serves two applications: one is online with Tomcat, and another one is an offline application. these two applications will sometimes update the same data tables. This service will provide unique keys, and do something else for these two applications.
This service will not depend on if Tomcat is running or not. I want this service on UNIX runs automatically when the computer is started, and keep running. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: John Najarian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 09, 2004 8:35 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: How to create/run a Java Service on UNIX It's very easy to launch a Java daemon in Linux/Unix. It used to be difficult & require some JNI programming. On the GNU site I found a slick way someone wronte in Java and it is simple. What I wanted to know from the person asking the question is what they're trying to do with the 'Service'. 'Service' this is Unix not winblows. Get with the correct lingo! - LOL! -----Original Message----- From: John Gentilin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 09, 2004 7:08 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: How to create/run a Java Service on UNIX Sorry, missed the beginning of this thread but.. I have this book http://half.ebay.com/cat/buy/prod.cgi?cpid=282172&meta_id=1 and I use it often. It has a very good section on how to create a single or multi threaded server. It does not go into how to launch this process as a daemon thread under Unix. I think all you really need to do is launch the process as a background task by appending the & to the end of the command line. Look at the tomcat Catalina.sh as an example of a startup script to run the service in the background. HTH -John G Daxin Zuo wrote: >The program is written as Java class.
