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.
