I would look at something like authbind, which can be found as a Debian
package here:

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/utils/authbind.html

Also on Linux is the daemon() function used in some startup scripts, found
in /etc/init.d/functions, but I don't know how well either of those would
port to HP-UX.

I saw a discussion on tomcat-dev that talked about using Tomcat with chroot,
but it looked pretty involved.
