Hi Mike, The ability to run Radiator as an NT service is excellent and I would like to say well done indeed!
Personally, I very much like the ability to monitor a users ability (or more importantly their inability) to login in real time. Running Radiator in a command window allows me to view the log file "as it happens" - much like a "tail -f" would do in a Unix environment. Is their any way to view the logfile in real time (or close to real time) when running Radiator as a service on NT?
