You're most welcome. If you're looking at running services in Windows using Python, one other hangup I ran into was that my services would freeze for no reason. At Pycon '09, I learned that there were buffers for stdout and stderr that were filling. I wish I could remember who gave the talk that included the jewel of knowledge, because I'd love to give credit where it's due... After I redirected stdout and stderr to files, my problems with the services freezing went away. Regards, -Edward Kozlowski -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
