tomcat broken for FreeBSD 4?

[Benjamin Thelen]

Hi,

jakarta-tomcat-5.0.30_3 does not start anymore under FreeBSD 
4.11-RELEASE-p13:

/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat5.0/logs/stderr.log sais:
daemon: illegal option -- p
usage: daemon [-cf] command arguments ...


Indeed "man daemon" shows that there is no -p option in contrary to 
FreeBSD 6.1.


But the tomcat start script makes use of this option 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/tomcat50.sh on line 119:

command="/usr/sbin/daemon"
flags="-p ${pidfile} ${java_command} start ${tomcat50_flags} ${log_args}"



Is tomcat broken for FreeBSD 4?

I couldn't find any hint neither on the web nor in /usr/port/UPDATING 
and even not in the ports changes!


I'd really appreciate any hint!


Thanks,
Ben
