Hi,

When SA is running as a service, you can access the GUI on the console using the tray 
icon. You are not able to start the SA exe a second time on the console.

When you install SA on W2K server and logon through terminal services, you get no tray 
icon, but you are able to start a second SA.

The SA docs only mention:
"Note that you cannot install SA through a Terminal Server session, and when running 
SA as a service through Terminal Server, you cannot see the tray icon."

Due to some strange effects I am now wondering
- Is it allowed to start the SA exe a second time?
- If this is allowed, what exactly happens?
  You now have two SA's running. Is the interactive SA a front-end that connects to 
the service?
  - If you push start/stop on the interactive SA, will this start/stop the check cycle 
of the service? Or will all checks run twice (once by the service, once by the 
interactive SA). 
  - If you change the configuration (e.g. add a host), will the service use the 
updated configuration?
- If this is not allowed, how are you supposed to change the configuration when SA is 
running as a service? You can't activate the tray icon in a TS session.
