Chris, Thanks for the bugzilla ref - I am only thinking about using this in a simple single-user scenario. The discussion on the bugzilla thread seems to be centered around a more general and much more complex problem of creating a cross-user, cross-machine solution.
If I'm not worried about those issues, what other things are needed in order to daemonize it under Linux? The only obvious thing I see so far is that it dies after the last browser instance is killed. Other than that, the initial mozilla seems to receive and invoke as many remote openurl() requests that are passed to it.

It's on my list. Most of the messaging infastructure is there as a result of my x-remote work. However, the part that would actually run "as a daemon" isn't done. I just haven't gotten to it yet since it's been lower priority than the other bits I've been working on. --Chris -- ------------ Christopher Blizzard http://people.redhat.com/blizzard/ Mozilla.org - we're on a mission from God.
