Hi again,
apparently http://forums.firedaemon.com/viewtopic.php?t=65 describes the differences between the two solutions.

Hi all,
I am not sure if this solves the same problem, but in my opinion there is a non commercial solution. If you run forrest as a webapp inside Tomcat, I think it is possible to start Tomcat as a service.
See http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/JavaServiceWrapper.

Hi All!

We found a little program (commercial, though: $US 35) that
starts even batch files as windows service: Firedaemon [1].

I checked it with Forrest (see screen shots in attachment)
and it works in live mode ('forrest run'), great!

We (i.e. our customers) use it to deploy Forrest on a central
server without the need to leave the DOS box open.

Maybe somebody else may find it useful, too.

Cheers
Johannes
