Marko Asplund updated DAEMON-301:
---------------------------------
Description:
A developer new to the subject of "daemonizing" may be left with an unclear
picture of what he'd gain from using Commons Daemon with his app after reading
the intro:
http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-daemon/index.html
The features and benefits of the software could be stated in more clear terms.
Here're potential some suggestions for a list of features:
* automatically restart JVM if it dies
* enable secure shutdown of JVM process using standard OS mechanisms (Tomcat
TCP based shutdown mechanism is error-prone and unsecure)
* redirect of STDERR/STDOUT and set JVM process name
* allow integration with OS init script mechanisms (record JVM process pid)
* detach JVM process from parent process and console
* run JVM and application with reduced OS privileges
* allow coordinating log file management with OS tools such as logrotate
(reopen log files with signal SIGUSR1)
...

Here're potential some suggestions for a list of features:
* automatically restart JVM if it dies
* enable secure shutdown of JVM process using standard OS mechanisms
* allow easy redirection of STDERR/STDOUT and setting JVM process name
* detach JVM process from parent process and console
* run JVM with depressed OS privileges
* record JVM process pid
