Hi, About a year ago, I got frustrated with the way tomcat*ctl worked, and went off to fix it. Anyway, at the end of all this I ended up with a daemonctl program that uses xml configuration files to define its behaviour. Specifically, I wanted my freebsd systems to behave like every other tomcat platform, and use the catalina.sh script (because I fairly often have extensive configuration in the catalina.sh/setenv.sh system). As the system stands, I have been using it for around a year with great success. So, I figured I'd make a pass at cleaning things (a bit) and making the stuff presentable. The program is still very much at a pre-alpha stage, but it does work (and even pretty reliably). I'd like to ask any of you who feel the tomcat*ctl pain to give this a try, and let me know what you think. Most of all, I'd like feedback on what it would take to get this cleaned up enough to have it added as a port, and how it (as a standalone port) might be used to replace the current daemonctl program. I've named my program daemonctl, but am certainly open to renaming it. I have created a rough port (sysutils/daemonctl) that you can download and drop into your ports tree to give this thing a try. Please read the following for a more detailed description of the program http://mutt.rcfile.org/daemonctl/readme.txt then if you're interested, download the port tarball. http://mutt.rcfile.org/daemonctl/daemonctl-port-0.1.tar.gz Of course, feedback in diff -u format will be gladly accepted :-) cheers.
