I would like to know what's the advantage of running Tomcat 5 as a deamon with jsvc.
Currently i start tomcat with the default startup script, by putting it in the inittab with the respawn option, so when somebody stops tomcat or tomcat crashes, tomcat is started again.
The main advantage is if you want to run the HTTP connector, on port 80 (or any priviledged port): you can run Tomcat without root for more security.
You can also send signals, but it's more a cosmetic thing.
Acting this way, tomcat "seems" to run like a deamon, but i know that actually it's not. Running it with jsvc would make it run really like a deamon.
In this case, what is the advantage of running tomcat using jsvc (as a deamon) instead of running it with the default startup script (non-deamon)?
