Hi Cameron Already there are solutions like the Commons Daemon. However, it is very much native and have different solutions to linux and windows platoform. I considered writing this in Java, so that it can be used uniformly acorss platforms, just that we may need to change the script file that actually starts the program.
AFIK, in windows any program can be made as a service by a simple command (but I don't know ;) ). And most of the service wrappers for windows do just that. Till now, I have not tested this on other platforms other than Linux (may be I will do this evening), but should work to my thinking. Again, what I have done is a quick proof of concept. It can be improved a lot, with a bit of planning.
