Okay, here is the picture. Have a application that does continuous real-time data processing on Windows Server. I need several copies of this application running at the same time, each distinguished by different startup parameters. I need to be able to have several of these started on server boot and also to be able to start/stop these processes from an interactive session on the server. The application must continue even if session logs out.
So, all that sounds like service application. Pain though because the application needs network resources too. Q1 - if using services, I might start the service with parameter =1 for one, parameter=2 for second etc. How do I identify the service session to halt though when I want to say terminate the service that was started with parameter=2? Can I use a service name here to distinquish? Q2 - Is there an alternative to services? I can start up a process at poweron with the scheduler service but is there a way to start an application that isnt a service so that it survives user logout? ---------------------------------------------------------- Phil Scadden, Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences 764 Cumberland St, Private Bag 1930, Dunedin, New Zealand Ph +64 3 4799663, fax +64 3 477 5232 _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list [email protected] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi
