Benefits of running Tomcat as a daemon with JSVC
Hi all
What are the benefits of running an application like Tomcat with as a
daemon (with JSVC) vs. running it like a normal application?
Best regards,

None, even if you manage to run a unix daemon on the windows
at the first place :).

In one sentence: Thanks a lot ;-)
In more than one sentence: Thanks a lot, but what's the benefit of
daemons (Services) in a Windows environment?

That's pretty much it. About the only other benefit is to not tie up a TS
session on your W2K+3 machine just to run Tomcat. Of course (thanks to
Mladen), using procrun (aka tomcatw.exe) also gives you the nice GUI to do
configuration :).

Mladen,
But not everything that runs when the system starts up is a daemon.
For example, to run Tomcat as a daemon one needs to use JSVC (or
something like that.) But it's also possible to write an init script
for Tomcat and store it in /etc/init.d and add it to the list of the
programs that are executed when the system starts up and in that init
script only call Tomcat's startup.sh script. This won't run Tomcat as
a daemon.
In Linux, as you said, one can use daemons to run on ports < 1024 but
on Windows I doubt if the only benefit would be that to run a certain
program when the Windows boots.
Best Regards,
Behrang S.

In another sentence, starting up the service automatically on system
startup. That's the big one. We actually run Tomcat as a non-root user,
but we need to start it up automatically on system startup.
On Windows, too - the same rationale. Making it start up as a service
means you don't have to log in and start it up manually each time.
