launch in background

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Feature Request:

On MacOS and Linux it may be optimal to run a headless or background setup,
IE, if you want the process to start before someone logs in locally you'll
want to run it as a system process.

Additional thoughts:
1. Document the configuration to allow easy configuration w/out gui.
2. Save process ID to a (pid) file so scripts can check that it is running
and restart it if necessary.
3. Output Status information to a pipe file to allow 3rd party
scripts/interfaces to monitor and interact with the server.

Ditto. Is there even a way to run the process in headless mode at all? If I try
starting it on linux without an X server running, I get the error

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class 
sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment

Also, is it possible to configure without the GUI? I don't see any 
configuration file
in the program directory, other than WEB.conf which doesn't appear to contain 
all the
settings.
