Hi All! We found a little program (commercial, though: $US 35) that starts even batch files as windows service: Firedaemon [1].
I checked it with Forrest (see screen shots in attachment) and it works in live mode ('forrest run'), great! We (i.e. our customers) use it to deploy Forrest on a central server without the need to leave the DOS box open. Maybe somebody else may find it useful, too.
