I generally checkout trunk or a release tag to /opt/red5/ then use the sysv
script extracted from the .deb package ( thanks simon ) together with monit
to keep red5 running happily. You have to run 'ant jar' after checkout and
also sometimes add JAVA_HOME or other environmental vars inside the
red5.shscript if you don't have them set in /etc/profile. Here are the
files, it
may helps someone. They might be a bit debian specific.
/etc/init.d/red5 ( set to load at startup with update-rc.d script )

nohup will work well in this situation, I use it a lot when I want to kick
something off by hand. An alternative approach which works well for a
startup script (e.g. /etc/rc.d/rc.local on Red Hat-ish systems) is
/bin/su - -c "<path to red5.sh>" <red5user> >&/dev/null 2>&1 &
Starts red5 as the correct UNIX user.
If you want to log the console output, redirect to the appropriate log
file
instead of /dev/null.
