Hi.

While I found this question being answered here on SW several times, I didn't find a concluding answer what is the best approach.

I'm not looking to use any external wrapper, as I found them launching the java process under a nice level lower then themselves which potentially lowers the performance, so it seems only the shell methods are left.

I so far found 3 different shell methods:

  • start-stop-daemon
  • RedHat daemon init.d function
  • nohup on start / disown after start

What you people are using, and can recommend as the most reliable method?

Thanks.
