mongrel_service gem was implemented to work with Rails. Inside the gem there is mongrel_service.exe (inside bin), but that only works with mongrel_rails script. While your user case is a valid one, was not considered when developed. You have a few options for your situation: 1) check mongrel_service FreeBASIC code (which is the actual service) and implement your own variation. (willl take you some time) 2) look into options like svrany or firedaemon, which let you run console applications as services. > Thanks in advance, > Hope this helps, -- Luis Lavena AREA 17 - Perfection in design is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.
