This is a follow up to my earlier question. Tomcat 5.0.28 had a bug where the Servlet's destroy() method was not being invoked by the container on a shutdown. This is fixed in Tomcat 5.0.30, but if the Servlet's destroy() method had a System.exit(), it would result in the Tomcat windows service throwing the Error 1053 and refusing to sh...

I have a service application written in C# and under certain circumstances, I would like it to terminate itself. This would happen after the service has been running for a while, so this would not be happening in the OnStart() event. Everything that I have read so far suggests that the only safe way to terminate a service is through th...
My primary computer for programming is the same computer I use for gaming etc. So to increase speed while gaming I turned off services like Apache, MySQL, Subversion etc. from starting at boot as I use it about 50/50 for gaming/programming. This is fine most of the time but it's a bit of a nuisance to start them all separately. Could s...
