On NT4 sp6: I ran the makeguiperl script to be able to run a script without a console. The script runs properly when double-clicked from NT explorer. I installed the srvany.exe program to allow running my own service I edit the registry to specify the (.gpl) script to run as a service The service doesn't run after restart. When I try to start the service manually, a dialog box complains of an internal NT error. No event appears in the log., so I don't know what the error was. My question is: How do I debug this to find out what's wrong? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jon S. Miller (a.k.a.
