My main field is .Net but recently I have got something to do with Java. I have to create a shell utility in Java that could run in background reading few database records after specified duration and do further processing. It's a kind of scheduler. Now I have few concerns:

How to make this work as a service. I want to execute it through a shell script and the utility should start running. Off course the control should get back to the calling script.

Secondly, eventually i may want to stop this process from running. How to achieve this?

I understand these are basic question but I really have no idea where to begin and what options are best for me.

Any help / advise please?
