Create a Java Daemon

[Adam Tong]

Hi,

I am a Java programmer. I want to create a Daemon in Java.

I want to be able to start and stop and check the status of my daemon
as I do for other services like apache2, I want also the deamon to
keep running when I close the terminal.

I looked over the net but the information is confusing. Can you tell
me how should I do that and maybe a link that explains the steps to
follow?

Thank you
