'Forrest run' as Windows Service

• Key: FOR-813
• Type: New Feature
• Status: Open
• Priority: Minor
• Assignee: Johannes Schaefer
• Reporter: Johannes Schaefer
• Component/s: Launch 'forrest run'
• Affects Version/s: 0.7, 0.8

Description

Up to now Forrest has to run in a command window on Windows
using 'forrest run'. For Server Operation this is not acceptable, so,
Forrest hasa to run as a Windows (Win32, WinNT) Service.

Jetty may run as such a Service using a wrapper, e.g.
"... the java wrapper provided by http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org
  to provide jetty as an Win32 service."
(from jetty-4.2.25\extra\win32\readme.txt)

May someone check if this license would allow distribution with Forrest?

[Gavin]

The current licence only states that the license-wrapper.txt be included somewhere obvious, otherwise no restrictions.
I guess it's worth checking with legal@ unless someone can confirm it is ok without doing that.

There is also a later version of the wrapper since this issue was opened.

[Gavin]

Ok, the license is fine for this.

[David Crossley]

The license does not say "somewhere obvious", so just doing our normal license placement and naming is fine.

Sorry that i didn't answer Gav's 23/Jun/07 comment. We can determine easy ones like this by ourselves. See legal-discuss@ yesterday: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/200710.mbox/%3c005f01c80ebb$ab0b5920$0200a8c0@developer%3e
