Hi Pete,
Found a bug (I think): <update-script on-off='on' call='D:/Program Files/SNF/getRulebase.cmd' guard-time='180'/> With THIS configuration, the script apparently gets never launched. What's particularly disturbing is, that I didn't find any place where the service reports/logs any errors about the update process? I had tested the script itself (by copying and pasting the string directly to the commandline), and thus knew it worked - but never thought about checking whether the .SNF file was actually updating. Once I realized that the timestamp of the .SNF file never advanced over the course of a day. After spending some time, trying to narrow down the problem but not finding any diagnostic info, I eventually decided to eliminate spaces from the path: <update-script on-off='on' call='D:/Progra~1/SNF/getRulebase.cmd' guard-time='180'/> and now it DOES seem to work.
