 The --background option is not intended to behave like a shells &
 operator... and some daemons do fork right away and return while the
 child continues, but other more robust daemons fork, then wait for the
 child to become booted, then return, so that any error status can be
 returned to the invoking shell for handling.

 IMO this is how Geronimo should behave...

 Adding a --wait or --nowait option might be useful, though I'd really
 like to solve the username/passwd problem... I think we need any
 anonymous way to query the status...

Whether to poll and how to poll are two separate issues to me. I agree
that we do need a way to anonymously query the status but I don't
think we need to query the status in the normal/default case in the
first place. When executing a script we'll need to know the status of
the server and polling will be necessary but when starting the server
in foreground polling is unnecessary.
