Also good idea, as long as &1 and &2 are well-documented, as those are
not standard unix.

Cool.

+1.

I also agree with keeping daemon in the commons and possibly promoting
it out of the sandbox into commons-proper.  I think the functionality it
offers is generic beyond tomcat, and I for one plan to use it for things
other than tomcat. ;)

I don't understand.  setsid doesn't change the identity, it just puts the
(forked) process into a new session, and divorces it from the pty.  The
process is still running as "root".  It's similar to (or, rather, a subset
of) the Linux "daemon" API call.  Since it is good enough for Apache/httpd,
I really didn't expect any controversy on this one.
Oops I was a bit to fast in my answer and have though of a setuid().
Of course the setsid() is _missing_ in the actual daemon code.
So you have my +1, sorry for the bad comment.

The problem is that the monitor still gets signals from my terminal session
(including HUP when I try to logout).  Similar to below, it hangs my ssh
session, since there is still an active proc in the same session as mine
when I try to logout.

2) I want to add a -outfile and -errfile to the config options

I know this has been discussed several times - but wouldn't be time to move
the daemon back to tomcat ?
I have already explain why I am against this idea. I would like to see daemon 
promoted to common-daemon. For the moment I am trying to fix the stop of procrun 
in win9x.

BTW: I have added reflexion and now daemon could be used to start Tomcat5.
and would like to see daemon promote to common-daemon.
Maybe we made a mistake by trying to move it to
commons, it doesn't seem to gain a lot of developers or users outside
tomcat.

2003-06-19 Thread Bill Barker
Ok, yes I know that this should go to commons-dev, but I don't monitor that
list as closely and all of the active developers hang-out here.

I would like to make some changes to native/unix/native, and (keeping with
commons conventions) should ask first.  I already have commons-sandbox
karma, so that's not an issue.

1) I want to call setsid (on platforms that support it) after the detach,
since evil things happen if I don't (at least on RH Linux).
2) I want to add a -outfile and -errfile to the config options (consistant
with procrun, and both defaulting to /dev/null).  stdin will get redirected
to /dev/null, and stdout & stderr will get redirected to the values of the
variables.  If I can get it to work, I'd also like to add the special values
