Hi Fred,
Are you sure you know what the "-user" option is for?
>From the commons-daemon site: "Jsvc is a daemon process so it should be
started as root and the |-user| parameter allows to downgrade to an
unprivilegded user."
You *have* to run jsvc as root if you want to bind to ports < 1000, or
if you want it to run as some user other than the current user; only
root has the ability to do either of those things.
Regards,
Simon
