I use a program called always up. It runs any exe as a service. It also has self recovery tools. http://www.coretechnologies.com/products/AlwaysUp/ Dan Goldberg
_____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adrian Hüssy Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2010 6:35 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - RBase as a Service Would like to have a job queue on a server for rbase. Periodically the queue table should be checked. If there is a new entry, a RBase programm should be executed (create reports and fax them). My first solution using RBase form with timer works well. Disadvantage: If somebody close the form on the server, log off the server or restart the server, the necessary queue-form/timer is missing. Any idea how I would be able to - start rbase as a system service in time of starting Windows, not bound on user-login (visible form is not necessary), OR - start an other process as a system service which periodically checks rbase-form is started and starts it if not started yet, OR - start an other process as a system service which periodically checks the queue and start rbase-procedure if necessary? Environment at customer site: MS Win SBS2008 Any idea welcome. Best Regards Adrian Huessy
