Application server and JVM

II am trying to install a certain application server on certain Unix platform (let it be anonymous for now), the 1st thing the installer asks me to do is to run a script that will install some kernel extension and turn on asynchronize IO. I am pretty sure these things have nothing to do with application server and reluctant to do so. So the question is: 揑s there anything in the J2EE spec/standard that says Thou shalt not bypass JVM to obtain OS services?
