Launching a cli server as background process in OSX

[Dar Scott Consulting]

Random thoughts, all untested, most goofy, some incoherent:
telnet or ssh
shell() open a customized terminal app window group that has a script
do ???? as applescript
enhance/repair open process
launch service at startup, but tweak parameters elsehow
Use a tool to turn a shell script into an app  and use open process
use a command-line tool to launch the service as a demon
