Hi, Commons-Daemon is used by Tomcat (in fact, it used to be part of the Tomcat internals before we made it more generic and its own project). To the OP: get a basic unix sysadmin book, it will cover cron and daemons. These are fairly essential basic unix skills, so if you work in the unix

Hi Daxin, How are you going to genereate the keys? Via the database? Also, seeing as you are going to use 'service' with without Tomcat I'd like to know if either application will be up as long as the server(s) is up. If that's the case you could have both applications check at startup if

I think we should assume that 'the program' will function correctly and do what it's advertised to do, since if that was the actual problem, then a list like 'java-rmi-user' or 'java-io-user' would be more appropriate. The tomcat application, and that second application should be coded to handle

Are you just looking for Unix to start a daemon every time it boots? That's typically done via a shell script, which accepts start stop arguments (sometimes start_msg stop_msg, too). These scripts are in /etc/init.d (/sbin/init.d for HPUX), and there are corresponding links in /etc/rc.*

Thank John, Mike, and Tom, and all other repliers. I hope Tome's instruction will work. I left UNIX for a long time. What Tom told is familiar to me. I will test it after next week. It is still a (rare) case that the Sever is not up when one of the applications talks to it. In this rare case, I
