You can run squeezeslave.exe as a service on Windows. I do this on my work PC.
First, you'll need the Windows Resource Kit Tools for XP/Win2k3. Download it 'here' (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9D467A69-57FF-4AE7-96EE-B18C4790CFFD&displaylang=en). (Despite the page heading, these tools are for XP as well as Windows Server 2003. Verify this by looking on the page under Sytem Requirements.) Install the Resource Kit Tools on the server. You only need two of the tools, so after intalling the kit you can, if you like, safely delete everything except: instsrv.exe srvany.exe Then from a command prompt install the service using: Code: -------------------- instsrv Squeezeslave C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\srvany.exe -------------------- Then run regedit to edit the service entry in the registry. Start > Run > enter 'regedit'. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Squeezeslave Right-click 'Squeezeslave' and select New > Key. Name it 'Parameters'. Right-click 'Parameters' and select New > String. Name this 'Application'. Double-click 'Application' and set its value to the full path to squeezeslave.exe. On my system I have it at C:\Program Files\Squeezeslave\squeezeslave.exe Then create another New > String in Parameters called 'AppParameters'. Set its value to the IP address of your SqueezeCenter server. This entry passes that address to squeezeslave.exe as a command-line argument. Then go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Servics and find the Squeezeslave service. Double-click it and set its Startup type to Automatic. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44771 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
