Huh? It most certainly is. There is a release being discussed right now. I'm left with an unfortunate impression of an attempt to spread FUD regarding Commons Daemon. > I have created a SvcBatch project that uses different > approach by running batch files as services. > > This means that instead complex configuration, one > can use catalina.bat directly, enabling versatile customization So to check my understanding: - sc.exe is used to manage the service - configuration is via the same mechanisms used when starting from the command line - svcbatch provides the plumbing to enable a service to be created from a batch file - svcbatch requires some configuration but a lot less than procrun because it pushes most of the config to the batch file or sc.exe > I'd like to get community feedback on that project, and > if proven useful we might consider using it as addon > or replacement for procrun. Simpler configuration is good. There has been a steady stream of enhancement requests to procrun to support various features. If svcbatch avoids that then that would be a positive. There would need to be a check for feature parity before any discussion of replacing procrun. Any reason not to replace procrun in Commons Daemon? How does svcbatch compare to jsvc? Is jsvc closer to procrun or svcbatch?
