And it's an improvement over su(do). Well it's certainly not an improvement over sudo; sudo has a rich ACL language for specifying who can and can't do what. Given that you have to start Tomcat _without_ daemonctl if you want debugging support, and given that the primary purpose of daemonctl is to make it easy for developers to stop and start the service without being root, I suggest that we reimplement the existing rc.d script without using daemonctl, and leave daemonctl installed for folks who want it. Ciao, Sheldon.
