I have written a tool that is run on the command line. I can test it on the command line on my machine, and it works fine. I then remote into the target server machine and run it on the command line there, and it still works. However...this tool needs to remain running (its a monitoring tool).

Ok, so here's the deal -- I'm running a Windows Forms WebBrowser control from a service. I know thats a no-no, but it seems to work alright. The only thing I'm running into a problem with is trying to wait for the browser's pages to load. In a normal application, I'd just do something like while (browser.readystate != complete) Appli...

I am creating Windows service class in Python that will eventually display a Window when certain conditions are met. Since (as I understand it) services cannot have GUIs, I'm trying to start up a GUI in a seperate process (using subprocess.Popen) when the conditions are right. This isn't working, presumably because the child process has ...

When clicking on the properties of a windows service, you can set the start parameters. Would you rather use this to configure a Windows Service or use an app.config? For a user, it's much easier to change the start parameters of a service than having to go and look for the install directory of the service, open the app.config and edit ...
Hi all, I want to develop a web application using ASP.NET running on IIS. If a user submits a MAXIMA input command, the code behind will ask a custom windows service to create a new distinct temporary process executing an external assembly. More precisely, there is only one windows service serving for all users, but each user will be...
