[gyrex-dev] Re: non-UI launcher for Equinox-based server
|
Hi Michael,
sorry for the late reply but I somehow lost my Gyrex-dev list
subscription. :(

Ideally, yes. Although this doesn't mean we should write one ourselves. ;)
I see two options. There is a native JVM launcher project at Apache. I
was wonder if we could re-use this one. It works well for quite a few
Java based servers.
The second one would we to extend the Equinox launcher with what we
need. This would also allow to play with a few interesting features. For
example, the Equinox launcher could find running server instances and
one could use the command line to issue commands to it (eg. "eclipse
shutdown").
One of the most interesting features that I'm interested in is starting
as super user ("root"), open ports below 1024, dropping root privileges
and launch the JVM which takes over the socket handle.
Did you guys evaluate the Apache launcher already?
