Larry,
I will have ironed out the final bugs by Wed/Thur and will submit the code
for committing. Until then there is a patch for jk_nt_service that is
complete, if that could be committed then the Service Manager could even be
released separately. I have attached that patch. On your list of criteria:
1. It looks nice?!?! (Although it could do with better icons). Allows
monitoring of local/remote Tomcat services.
2. It runs completely separate from TC. It just looks at the services.
3. As 2.
4. Sure I can do that.
5. I think it's fairly self explanatory. People used to Windows shouldn't
have a problem. Plus I keep an eye on the list quite a bit so I can answer
any queries.
6. I will get it ready for commit.
Plus sorry for any duplicate messages. I had problems posting to the list :)

Hi David,
I'll be glad to consider it. My criteria for including a usability
enhancement, prior to Release Candidate 2 is:
1. Offers a real benefit.
2. It's impact is *easy* to evaluate.
3. It won't impact the stability of Tomcat 3.3.
4. It is, or can be, sufficiently documented.
5. It won't generate more tomcat-user traffic than it's worth!
6. There is time to commit it.
The last one may push some desirable features into a later
Tomcat 3.3 release, which I expect will happen. Tomcat 3.3
can't release unless there are enough committers to continue
support. I'm still willing to consider simple usability
enhancements, time permitting :-), and not rule them out absolutely
at this point.
Cheers,
Larry
