Hi, there used to be the pax-runner doing exactly this, but as it's not used as the heart for Pax-Exam it only has frequent updates. Never the less people still use it. Another thing to use, is to run with a Karaf minimal distribution, or better a custom distribution which is basically a stripped down minimal Karaf distribution. For example one could neglect shell, jaas and other things not needed.
