Thought here, would be gshell could read a standard Java properties file for JVM args and then launch the server with them.....As long as one JVM launches, the other (ie. gshell or groovy can start another instance of a JVM) then this is doable. Otherwise, this won't work...with my Terracotta example being a reason.In my eyes, scripts are a no-go, unless you can make them platform neutral and not require users to install a third-party solution like Perl (on Windows) to make it work.We already ship sh and bat code...why would this be a no-go? If this is the case, then we shouldn't be shipping startup scripts in bat and sh format.
I know Jason would be in favor of dropping the complicated .sh/.bat files we have now, as we have seen several breakages between them this release (between the openjpa agent, handling spaces in paths on Windows, file separators, ...)
My point, was that having to provide 2 scripts per extension (Unix and Windows) would be troublesome for some, like all you Mac users who hate Windows :-)

It would really be nice to have the ability to have a "scripts" directory, where all of the scripts get executed before Geronimo is launched. Why do we want this? As we grow in our plugins, they will need to set environment or java options set before running G. They may also have a need to start or run other outside processes that are not a part of G. It would be great to allow plugins to install an rc script that gets executed to do activities before and perhaps after G is run? I would propose we create a scripts directory under bin or under var that could be similar to init.d, and have it called with start/stop, etc. This way plugins can install specific scripts in these directories for execution. Thoughts? Jeff
