No idea.  Didn't spend enough time on the issue. :)

It mean adding some code looking like this when the program starts:

  pidfile = "/var/run/jetty.pid";
  mypid = system.getpid();
  writepidfile(pidfile, mypid);

And code like this when the program stops:

  system.removefile(pidfile);

Keep in mind that I do no longer remember the library API in java. :)

No need to CC me.  I'm on the list. :)
