John,
I run Ubuntu 8.04 an have a very basic CF8 install on it. What I did was have
CF start during boot by adding a file to /etc/init.d/ called coldfuison. This
is the contents of that file:
#!/bin/sh
# start the cf server
case "$1" in
'start')
/opt/coldfusion8/bin/coldfusion -start
;;
'stop')
/opt/coldfusion8/bin/coldfusion -stop
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
;;
esac
exit 0
If you decide to use it, make sure that the two paths are correct for your
install. This then runs during boot up so that the CF server will be available
to any and everyone, even before they log in. Also make sure the permissions
are correct on that file, or it won't run. i've got root:root and 755. Doing
it this way, you won't be prompted for a password ever and you won't have to
add the other people's logins to the sudoers group.
You could also enable CF for each user on login by adding it to their "startup"
que.

I don't have a GUI on my server, so I couldn't test that to see if it
actually works - sorry!
