Cay,

I acknowledge that this can be annoying. And yes, DAS really does not
mean anything you'd know as far as v3 is concerned. So, I gather that you'd
like asadmin tool to do the following:
- If the server does not start after a certain number of "dots" (say 5), then
   see what could be wrong instead of just printing more dots.
- Change "Waiting for DAS to start" to something more meaningful. Would
   "Waiting for server to start" make more sense?

Let us know and we'll work on a fix.

Also, would you please provide your platform details, whether it happens
standalone or via Eclipse/NetBeans etc?

Regards,
Kedar

PS - users who know v2 may know of DAS, but as of now, v3 has no concept of
a Domain Admin Server.
