The directory contains examples of Java daemons. The examples are compiled using Ant (just type ant). Each example creates a jar file in ../../dist SimpleDaemon ------------ SimpleDaemon demonstrates the feature of the daemon offered by Apache Commons Daemon. To run it adapt the SimpleDaemon.sh file and connect to it using: telnet localhost 1200 Additional information in ../native/unix/INSTALL.txt ServiceDaemon ------------- ServiceDaemon allows to start programs using the Commons Daemon. That could be useful when using Cygwin under Win9x because Cygwin only offers services support under Win NT/2000/XP. (See in ../native/nt/README how to install jsvc as a service in Win32). It uses Apache Commons Collections: http://commons.apache.org/collections/ To use it you need at least commons-collections-1.0 Check in build.xml that the property commons-collections.jar correspond to thei location of your commons-collections.jar file. You have to create a file named startfile that uses a property format: name = string to start the program For example: sshd=/usr/sbin/sshd -D router1=/home/Standard/router/router pop3 pop3.example.net router2=/home/Standard/router/smtp smtp.example.net socks5=/usr/local/bin/socks5 -f To run it adapt the ServiceDaemon.sh file. AloneService ------------ AloneService is like ServiceDaemon except it does not use the Daemon interface. ProcrunService -------------- This is a simple Windows Service application. It can be run either in Jvm or Java modes. See ProcrunServiceInstall.cmd for a sample installation script.
