Launching Felix as a daemon under Linux

[Jean-Pierre Fortune <je...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
What is the most elegant way to have Felix launched as a daemon when Linux
starts up?
Thanks in advance.

Two years ago I used an open-source project called Java Service Wrapper 
to register a Java program with the OS 
(http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/introduction.html). It 
provides the necessary librairies for Linux integration. The only thing 
you need afterward is to register your application with Linux so it is 
executed at startup based on the kernel's run level. The command vary 
based on the flavor of your OS, but for us it was 'chkconfig'.

J-C

The installers sub-project in our trunk has some support for daemons, 
but we haven't been able to concentrate on polishing them enough to make 
them our official release. We are hoping to do this at some point in the 
near future.

If someone knows how to work with the installer and wants to contribute 
some time, we should be able to get some official fancy installer 
releases in short order.
