Nope, I'm not... Currently there's a test project to run Tomcat 4.0 as a
native daemon in Unix. You can check out and build the "service" code in the
"jakarta-tomcat-4.0/service" CVS repo, and try it out.
I'm building a new (more portable) API in "jakarta-tomcat-service", and that
will be (probably) the default way to invoke Tomcat from the next beta.
Both of them (the one in TC4 and the new Service) allow to run TC4 as an
operating-system daemon, binding to port 80 and running as a non-root
user... I don't know whether those will be adopted by TC3 also or not, but
they _do_ work :)
