It's very easy to launch a Java daemon in Linux/Unix. It used to be difficult & require some JNI programming. On the GNU site I found a slick way someone wronte in Java and it is simple. What I wanted to know from the person asking the question is what they're trying to do with the 'Service'. 'Service' this is Unix not winblows. Get with the correct lingo! - LOL!

I have this book http://half.ebay.com/cat/buy/prod.cgi?cpid=282172&meta_id=1 and I use it often. It has a very good section on how to create a single or multi threaded server. It does not go into how to launch this process as a daemon thread under Unix. I think all you really need to do is launch the process as a background task by appending the & to the end of the command line. Look at the tomcat Catalina.sh as an example of a startup script to run the service in the background. HTH -John G Daxin Zuo wrote: >The program is written as Java class.
