I created an issue for this (CLEREZZA-502) and supplied a solution using Java Service Wrapper.
I would need people to test it on different systems however. I tested it extensively on my Ubuntu 10.10 64bit machine and partially on a Win XP 32bit Virtual machine. The installation instructions can be found in the comments to CLEREZZA-502: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLEREZZA-502 Other questions are how to automate the installation tasks best in the context of Clerezza (karaf has a nice solution but it's still some work to implement the same in Clerezza). Also I am not quite sure how to deal with licensing issues of Java Service Wrapper. I did not modify or include any source code of JSW but the clerezza wrapper code depends on the wrapper.jar library which is included in the resource folder. This library is licensed under GPLv2. Any ideas what needs to be done and wether it can be included in this way?
