I'd say it isn't sub-optimal at all because that way you can at any time connect to the Lisp image and make changes. You can for example modify your application or enhance CL-HTTP itself while it is running. Why isn't that a good thing? I usually use detachtty via ssh for this task and have an init script that sets up detachtty and CMUCL automatically for the rare case that the machine has to be rebooted. <http://www.cliki.net/detachtty> Disclaimer: I don't use CL-HTTP but I see no reason why this solution shouldn't apply to CL-HTTP as well. Cheers, Edi.
