Does anyone know what background processes I can run which can allow me to
use the Netview Java applets (map,events etc via Netscape ) without having
the ovw GUI running.

Is this possible at all ?

To make sure that any processes which may have died get restarted properly,
I stop and restart netview each evening via a cron job by running ovwexit
and then ovstop and ovstart, and in turn lose this functionality until
someone starts the gui again.

Any ideas ??
