That's handy, having all dependencies bundled into the AwareIM server.
How can I run the server from the commandline in OS X? It's not practical to leave a user logged-in running the server. I'm currently running it using the "open" command from the commandline as root, but this is problematic because anyone logging-in to the machine via VNC will see the app running, and whoever he happens to be, when he logs out the app will close, shutting the server down.
Basically, it just means we have to be extra careful logging-in to the production machine. We can do it, but it's a headache. Running the app as a commandline process would be much more robust.
