Hi Joshua, I've tried running opensim as a windows service following the instructions at http://tmurlikiewicz.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=29:how-to-run-opensi to no success.
Invariably when I try to start the service I get the error message "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion." Finding some alternative methods to run applications as a windows service from http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/83272-how-to-run-a-program-as-a-service/ , I also tried the Launcher Service (option 3), but I couldn't figure out a way to get the configuration to accept a parameter - i.e. it would accept c:\opensim\bin\robust.exe as an executable, but no way to add the " -inifile=Robust.HG.ini" parameter (error was something about illegal characters in the config file). I did get the Launcher Service to start up opensim.32bitlaunch.exe, but the console appears on the Windows "interactive desktop" and if you close that window I never did figure out how to get back to it. After much futzing and trying different permutations, I've given up on running robust and opensim as a Windows service for now. Which is kind of inconvenient since I can't figure out a way to share access with another sysadmin without giving them access to the windows account where the application is running - a total violation of our campus security policies. :( - Chris/Fleep Chris M.
