[slim] Slimserer from command prompt

2005-06-22 Thread Roy Owen
I tried submiting from the forum but received no answer.

I've noticed that if I start Slim.exe from a command prompt (the same
holds true for slimserver.pl) with an asynchronous launcher, the
program never starts. Just starting from a command line it works fine.
Due to networking limitations I am unable to run SS as a service, I
would however like to run SS without a dos window open. Is this a slimserver problem or an active perl problem?-- Do meddle in the affairs of Dragons,for you are crunchy and good with Tabasco.

An asynchronous launcher uses a Windows API call to create a new
process in it's own memory space and thread. If used from a command
prompt one can close the command window without closing the new
process.

As you seem to develop that launcher youself, any chance to grab  
slim.exe's output? Are you sure it's actually launching the task (maybe it  
does not find the executable)? Is that launcher run with another user's  
credentials?

 problem?

Its been a while since I've tried running as a service, but you could try
Firedaemon.  I don't think that left a dos box open.
