I could imagine a set of start/stop scripts where the start script launched the server as a daemon and recorded it's pid somewhere. stop the only had to read that pid and kill the process. Those scripts could then be easily be called from cap recipes. Something like Daemonize (http://grub.ath.cx/daemonize/) might come in handy. I'd really appreciate if you could tackle that subject :-) cheers, Jens -- Jens Krämer webit!
