Somewhere at the beginning of this was, I think, Andy's mention of starting the executable in persistent mode.
When I was manually playing with that, I also didn't want a COMMAND window cluttering my desktop. So I used: start /B LicenseID.exe authcode persistent and put that in a batch file I creatively called Send-Daemon.cmd For those in the cheap seats, the batch file I used is actually: start /B snfrv2r3.exe xnk05x5vmipeaof7 persistent with a carriage return at the end, of course.

And it has worked with all Sniffer updates since the first persistent version was released.

In the NEW Sniffer version I noticed that my log files were not rotating. Upon further investigation it became clear, that Sniffer was no longer running in persistent mode since the upgrade (thus ignoring the "rotate" command). The clue was a missing "*.persistent.stat" file. After some experimenting I determined that the problem was that (at least on MY machine) Sniffer now requires the explicit specification of a an application working directory. Here is my updated SrvAny configuration: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sniffer\Parameters] "Application"="D:\\IMAIL\\Sniffer\\Win32\\MyLicenseKey.exe" "AppParameters"="MyAuthorizationCode persistent" "AppDirectory"="D:\\IMAIL\\Sniffer\\Win32" Best Regards Andy Schmidt Phone: +1 201 934-3414 x20 (Business) Fax: +1 201 934-9206 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy Schmidt Sent: Sunday, October 31, 2004 09:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [sniffer] LogRotate no longer working? Hi, After 10/28 the log files have not been rotation.
