The jsvc name is a Linux thing, having to do with quirks in Linux permissions. You can look through the source if you really find this interesting (it's half decently documentented there :). Jsvc works on a parent-slave model. The parent sits around to see if the slave has died, and recieves signals. The slave invokes Tomcat via JNI, and does Tomcat things :). It invokes Tomcat in 'daemon' mode, so that Tomcat doesn't listen on 8005. When you send a kill, you send it to the parent, which then tells the slave to gracefully shutdown. > Regards > Marten --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
