Hi,

I run J2EE on my linux server by using VNC from win xp. When J2EE runs it leaves the terminal window running; meaning it doesn't return to a prompt, it just says "J2EE Startup Complete" and just sits there. Closing this terminal will stop J2EE.

I learned that VNCing to a linux box is different from windows because you get your 'own' version of the gui environment when connected. I initially suspect that when you start an application similar to J2EE (that keeps the terminal in execution mode) in a VNC viewer, then close that viewer session, the application is also terminated. I tried this out and this is not the case. Apparently, that session is saved until a user connects to that same port.

(whew)...

My question is - Does it use a lot more memory doing it this way rather than running it directly on the linux box? How much tax does it have on the system?

Thanks,
