RE: Orion as a Win2000 service ?
Here is the command we issued to register Orion as a service: D:\JNT "/InstallAsService: Orion" "/SD" -jar d:\\orion.jar -userThreads If you don't use threads, leave off the last switchgood luck!

RE: Orion as a Win2000 service ?
I have to reply to my own question, since I got a quick response from the author of JVMI. The solution is to put orion.jar to classpath and invoke the main class: c:\jdk1.3\jre\bin\hotspot\jvmi.exe -cp orion.jar com.evermind.server.ApplicationServer It's seems to be working. Sorry if it was obvious, Adam

RE: Orion as a Win2000 service
Have you tried this: Right click the service and bring up the properties dialog. On the second tab, check the box "Interact with Desktop". When you start the service, the app should start in a command prompt window. The only issue with this is that the command prompt window will not show if you are accessing the box with Microsoft's terminal services (which I may add is very buggy!).

RE: Orion as a Win2000 service
Make sure that you aren't writing anything to the console from your app if you want to run as a service.

RE: Orion as a Win2000 service
I have had great success using JNT from http://www.eworksmart.com/jnt to install, simply go to the directory where you install JNT and issue the command (replacing drive letters and orion paths, of course): D:\jnt "/InstallAsService: Orion" "/SD" -jar D:\\orion.jar The only problem I have encountered is that it does not shut down cleanly, because I don't know what the shutdown.method property should be set to to shut it down, if anyone out there does know I'd love to hear... Works like charm otherwise though.
