David, Running as a service is a GREAT idea and I am behind that. As a short term goal would a command line switch to start the program "hidden" be acceptable? It would run the same code as the hide button on the main screen.
Now, the only problem _I_ have with that is the fact I can't do a "net stop" to stop echovnc. Anyone have a good way to stop it once its running? -Paul On Apr 4, 2005 2:38 PM, David Schlesinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This sounds really good, would definitely like it to start as a service. > > posting on another issue in a sec.. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul Perpich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, April 04, 2005 2:27 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: > Subject: Re: [Echovnc-users] Trying to get straightened out on where to > post > > Hi David, > > Glad to see there is life here :) I did pass a few emails back and > forth with Scott.
