Sorry I didn't reply sooner. If you're creating a service based on a Python file, check out the following links in addition to the book Wolfgang mentioned: http://agiletesting.blogspot.com/2005/09/running-python-script-as-windows.html http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread595660.html http://essiene.blogspot.com/2005/04/python-windows-services.html That should get you started.
