I've never used it, Pete. My first reaction was... don't go to a third party (XYNTService, SrvAny, FireDaemon) just make the executable a full fledged Windows Service.
I do realize that you'd be reluctant to do that given the additional complexity of the code, none of which is portable to the *nix version where the SNFServer would run as a daemon. Since you, as a the developer, start with XNTService with the source code, http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/xyntservice.aspx then you can modify it and deploy it any way you want (yes, I read the Terms of Service at the site), including giving it a Message Sniffer name and localizing the installation in your folder to prevent versioning issues if the server is already using XNTService for something else. So it does seem less bad that at first, but if you're going to be supporting XNTService because you built it, and you're going to be supporting your own SNFServer.exe because you built it... you'd aim higher and write SNFServer.exe as a Windows Service anyway.

Hello Sniffer Folks, We are working on an installer for the command-line version of SNF V3.0. We are considering re-distributing XYNTService to setup the SNFServer.exe as part of the installation. There are some rumblings here and there about XYNTService not working the same way on some versions of Windows. If any of you have experience with XYNTService then we would sure like to hear about it. If anyone knows of an alternative that we can bundle with our installer then please let us know that too... (Why don't you just write something?? -- ) We'd prefer not to reinvent that particular wheel right now -- not that it's hard, just that it's not necessary and we'd rather do other important stuff.
