Possible? Yes. You can't run an arbitrary executable as a service, you need to use the cygwin service wrapper cygrunsrv to make it respond to service control messages. However, this is not the way to achieve what you want to do. Google "Allow service to interact with desktop" to learn why... Running it from the "Startup" program group is the correct approach. -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
