I sent my last email too soon.. my keyboard decided that every key
mapped to something else and as I typed it sent the email!! :(
I am using the following tool, which uses source from Sun's installer to
build the command line String. It makes using paths such as C:\Program
Files\Sun\GlassfishV2RC4\ easier.

I checked, the logon tab for the service does have "Local system
account", but the service still stops when I log out. Very strange.
I think there is something different about the cluster profile and
passwords. Here is a quote from someone on this mailing list on Aug 19
2007 regarding glassfish asking for a password:

When starting glassfish it looks for ~/.asadminpass. I'm wondering how
glassfish would find ~/.asadminpass when "Local system account" is used
to start the service. The .asadminpass file lives in my own user's home
directory.
