Re: Recommendation to run in the background under linux?

I guess you can just grep for ftpd.sh to kill the server. If you are using
an applicationserver running , I run ftpserver from a war file with a
context listener; it is a little weird but it works for me ... any problem
with this approach Niklas?

No idea about commons-daemon but it is worth taking a look at.

No, should work fine. Report a bug if it doesn't because it is
certainly a feature I would like to work.
