Java Daemons and connecting to already running instances
<p>I'm looking to see if anyone on here has any experience with Java Daemons / Services and connecting to instances of them. Android has a mechanism for handling Services and I was wondering if anyone has used the Apache Commons Daemon code to do something similar on Windows or Unix/Linux.</p>

<p>All I want to do is have an already running daemon and be able to bind to it and once bound, run methods through it.</p>

<ul>
<li>Start service if not already running</li>
<li>Get instance of service &amp; bind to it</li>
<li>Call methods using the service</li>
</ul>
