I think we should assume that 'the program' will function correctly and do what it's advertised to do, since if that was the actual problem, then a list like 'java-rmi-user' or 'java-io-user' would be more appropriate.
The tomcat application, and that second application should be coded to handle the cases when 'the program' is not available. If that's still a problem, refer to the aformentioned, fictious(?) groups. All that remains is "how do I get 'the program' to run?" Oddly enough, that's still not tomcat-user, but hey we like to help out. For that (as Yoav said), you need a *nix admin type person to write some rc scripts for you, or investigate how to do so for yourself. Find a BB or other email-user list for the exact flavour of *nix you are running, and ask about rc.d scripts on that list. (rc.d is the approximate equivalent on *nix, of the Windows Services control panel). > -----Original Message----- > From: John Najarian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, September 10, 2004 2:28 PM > To: 'Tomcat Users List' > Subject: RE: How to create/run a Java Service on UNIX > > > Hi Daxin, > > How are you going to genereate the keys?
