Question

I made a research how to create Java daemon which can run on Centos. I found that there is a two ways:

1. Using C code to start the daemon example example.
2. Pure java daemon with init scripts example.

Which one to choose. I prefer the pure Java solution. Would you share some experience?

Answer 1

I would keep things as simple as possible. I would use the pure java start from shell script approach. Or you can start the process using cron, if you want to run the process as a user.
