           Summary: Tomcat doc. should acknowledge longstanding Daemon bug
           Product: Tomcat 6
           Version: 6.0.18
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/windows-service-
                    howto.html
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
        ReportedBy: 4...@safe-mail.net


Please add this text: "Do not use PR_DEPENDSON, PR_ENVIRONMENT, PR_JVMOPTIONS,
PR_JVMMS, PR_JVMMX, PR_JVMSS, PR_STARTPARAMS, PR_STOPPARAMS or PR_STOPTIMEOUT,
until this bug is fixed: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-49"; (or
similar text) to this page:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/windows-service-howto.html

The "Windows service HOW-TO" indicates that those nine environment variables
will take effect, if they are defined when tomcat6.exe is invoked.  But they
don't work, and apparently they never worked.  The person who reported the
Daemon bug submitted a patch, but that was almost 5 years ago, and no one has
done anything with the patch.

The tomcat6.exe documentation should acknowledge the existence of this
longstanding Daemon bug, so people who read the HOW-TO will not waste numerous
hours on it.
