Nickolay Martinov updated EXEC-53:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: commons-exec-daemon.patch

Added patch that gives child class control over execution thread creation.

    @Override
    protected Thread createThread(Runnable task) {
        Thread thread = super.createThread(task);
        thread.setDaemon(true);
        return thread;
    }

> When process is started asynchronously using DefaultExecutor then thread is created that monitors process. This thread is user thread and blocks java program from exiting. There is no way to make this thread daemon. Allowing this to be a daemon thread one would be able to spawn process without &, monitor this process for some time to be sure that it is alive and then exit without calling System.exit() that isnt always possible/desirable.
> Also it would be nice to be able to create thread with specific priority or thread group or thread name or anything else.
