For unix there is already such functionality (try phoenix.sh [start|stop|restart|status]) and for windows you need to use the wrapper toolkit (wrapper.sourceforge.net) to get the equivelent behaviour. Another way we have discussed is something like the following. We keep a magic "cookie" file in somewhere like $PHOENIX_HOME/conf/cookie - this would be used to do a simple digest or symetric encryption of a message that can be sent to the server. So we could tell the server to shut itself down by launching a client and sending this message. The resuslt is that any one with permission to read the file $PHOENIX_HOME/conf/cookie has permission to shutdown the server. It is thus reasonable safe without being too painful to work with. -- Cheers, Peter Donald ----------------------------------------------- "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." -Albert Einstein ----------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
