Permissions or user account. You'll have to determine which user account Tomcat is using, and whether that user account has suitable permissions to run something when no user is logged on (I think this has something to do with the "Interact with Desktop" setting when setting up services but I am no Windows admin by any means).

If anyone could help me with this problem I'd be grateful.
Here's some of my system info, etc.:
Windows XP Pro IIS 5.1 Tomcat 4.1.24
I'm also running Tomcat as a service via JavaService.
The problem is this - my web application requires the use of external programs, which I execute by calling something like
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(executablePath);
This works fine while I'm still logged on to my machine, but when no one is logged in, the external program doesn't seem to be executing. While logged off, I know the Tomcat service is still running because I can still access my web application with other machines; however, when I try to use the part of the application that executes an external program, I get no response and the server times out.
Anyone have any ideas or solutions?
Thanks in advance for the help,
James
