[Red5] Red5 daemon startup on Fedora/RedHat/CentOS?

[Mondain]

Jeremy,We are currently using Tanuki softwares' "Java Service Wrapper" in
the windows versions, but they do offer support for other OS's like Linux.

wouldn't be all that hard to port what we have (scripts) to their Linux
version, which I assume offers you the level of control that you want.
