Commons-daemon (aka procrun.exe) is an interesting alternative because it has the same license as JPPF, which allows us to redistribute it instead of asking the user to download it separately.

We propose to add it to the node and driver distributions and add a configuration doc in the relevant section. Me should also investigate about the Unix counterpart Jsvc. However, what I've seen so far isn't very promising, as there are no available pre-built binaries and I don't think asking users to compile it is going to cut it.

We might also want to add it to v4.x in addition to the upcoming 5.0, but I'm not making it a high priority.
