Hi Chris, I have a script that works and I'm ready to submit a patch. Tomcat pulls jsvc.tar.gz from the commons-daemon project, circa 2004/2005.
http://archive.apache.org/dist/commons/daemon/binaries/ The structure of the 1.0.1 commons-daemon is different than the structure of 1.0.2. There is no /bin directory in the 1.0.2 release. Part of the trick is that in order to get this patch into Tomcat: - There needs to be another release of commons-daemon (unlikely for some time). - Once that happens, Tomcat needs to be updated to pull that new release from the archive. Since the current version that Tomcat links to isn't very useful, does anyone have a suggestion on how to get it replaced?
