Phillip,
Tom agrees with you, and now I do to. I'll change it to a TERM signal in the next
version.
While the $() syntax is equivalent to backticks in recent Bash (and I prefer it
for readability,
and also becaue the backtick is in a confusing place on my french azerty
keyboard...), I think
Tom and Toby are right that it might be better to use backticks for portability.
I'll change this too.
I'll post a new version soon before I send it to the jboss-dev list.
So far I have tested it with IBM,SUN,and Blackdown jdk1.3 linux ports and all work
fine.
Thanks,
Chris
