1) "Just" rewrite GUI in HTML so it can be used with all operating systems. 2) Many good reasons why program must run as a service, but no reason to decide one or the other. Add servicestart, servicestop, serviceuninstall, serviceinstall functions to allow program to change operating modes.
You cant get programs that don't invoke the SCM (service control manager) to start at boot-up if they require special priv on Vista / Win2K8. Embedded applications need the flexibility to automatically start on powerup. Also as a service, the O/S can be configured to be a watchdog to monitor the program and restart if necessary. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fred Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 4:29 PM To: Sergey Lyubka Cc: shttpd-general Subject: Re: [shttpd-general] [1.38 Win] How to encrypt .htpasswd?

It's a nice and easy way to change settings. If shttpd is only installed as a service, how will users changes settings? Frankly, I don't think moving shttpd as a service is worth it. The reason people use it is because it's easy to install and run, and moving it to a service just makes things more complicated. Besides, all it takes to having shttp start at run-time is to either create a shortcut in the Start folder, or add a key in the Run section of the Registry. What technical reasons are there to move to a service? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
