Running Tomcat as a background process
Hi,
not sure this is the right forum, but i couldn't find a better-suited one. hope someone can help me...
i've just installed tomcat 6.0.18 on my MB running 10.5.5. it works fine, the one thing that bothers me is that i have to start it manually from the terminal. it then runs "in the background" (i.e. no I/O in the terminal, no hogging the command line), still it's bound to the terminal window it's been started in (black dot in red closing box, warning when closing the window).
now what i'd like is for tomcat to behave, say, like the built-in apache webserver, i.e. as a daemon: start when the computer starts, even if i'm not logged in (i'm gonna install tomcat on the mini i use as a web server), run in the background, but still be monitorable from the terminal (stop/restart), etc...
anyone knows how to do that?
thx a lot for your help
