The major reason why Ernst introduced the daemonctl program was so that
tomcat/jboss wouldn't be running as root. Having it run as root
introduces the possibility of a root-hack via tomcat/jboss. If you can
make it easily run under the `www' pseudo user that would be cool.

The secondary purpose of the daemonctl program was convenience
related: you don't have to be root to start the service, just a
member of `www'. Dunno if you can easily replicate this with a shell
script though.

Cheers.
