Re: [Beepcore-java-users] beepd dies on user logout

[Ulf T. <d9...@dt...>]

I suspect you are using Windows NT/2000/XP and are trying to run the
server as a Windows NT service?

If that is the case, this is a common behaviour for many Java
applications. As soon as you try to run them as a service under Windows
and then logout, the OS sends a signal to terminate the JVM. This has to
be handled in some way - for example by using some sort of service
wrapper that catches the signals from the OS before it reaches the JVM.

A couple of wrappers available:

JNT:

Javants (available in the JBoss CVS repository):
http://www.jboss.org/

Wrapper:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wrapper/

Personally, I have only tried the Javants wrapper in combination with the
JBoss EJB server. Although it required some modifications to work, it did
what it should do. There are probably more wrappers available.
