Hi Chris What you need is a wrapper to make the server run as a daemon.
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/daemon/ is one solution, another one is http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/introduction.html The german JavaMagazin had some nice Articles about that in issues 9 and 10 of 2004. You can download the sources supplied on the CD for 9/2004 online at: http://www.java-magazin.de/itr/ausgaben/psecom,id,210,nodeid,20.html MfG Andreas > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris Picton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, November 19, 2004 1:45 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Running as a daemon > > > On Fri, 2004-11-19 at 12:14 +0000, Victor Kirk wrote: > > > I have an app running an xml-rpc server.
