Costin, One of my initial patches for this followed a similar strategy of morphing the display name into something usable as a service name. In fact, this is the approach I've used with other products in the past. However, I settled on being able to specify the names separately when I found that a lot of vendors use totally different names for the display name vs the service name. For example, internal name for "NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing" is mnmsrvc. I know this isn't a big deal but I think it is nice to have such flexibility.

BTW, I have another change ( contributed by WRowe ) to allow spaces in names and few other improvements ( it is leaving the name with spaces as display name, and removing the spaces for the internal name ). The "-n" is a different solution ( you specify both names in the command line ). After 3.3.1 is released I would like to remove nt_service from jakarta-tomcat CVS. The version in j-t-c has few additional fixes and improvements ( including the ability to execute a program to stop, support for catalina shutdown protocol, etc ).
