 == How can there be more than one activation="startup"? It doesn't seems to matter if 
I take it away. ==
 
+== How to I configure an NT Service?  What block is launched? ==
+Merlin uses the Java Service Wrapper to run as an NT Service.  The wrapper is 
configured with an wrapper.conf file located in %MERLIN_HOME%/bin/nt/.  The service is 
configured to look for an environmental variable called '''MERLIN_DAEMON''' and uses 
this as the working directory for merlin (merlin.dir).
+You can then place a properties file in MERLIN_DAEMON called '''merlin.properties'''. 
 A list of valid properties can be found at 
[http://avalon.apache.org/merlin/merlin/kernel/properties.html].  The one to notice is 
'''merlin.deployment'''.  This sets the list of blocks you wish to start in your NT 
service.
+
+Example file:  (%MERLIN_DAEMON/merlin.properties)
+{{{
+merlin.info=true
+merlin.audit=true
+merlin.debug=false
+merlin.kernel=file:///${merlin.home}/kernel.xml
