Interesting. However why call nssm the "best" way to do this but still ship the winservice.py file?
If nssm was truly *the* way to do this then I would think the book (which was just updated) would have removed the section about the winservice.py and only talk about nssm or at least make an effort to promote nssm over the native script. This doesn't make a whole lot of sense from the standpoint of having "everything" in the box with web2py. As far as support goes, Massimo is intent on supporting ie 7 for web2py's editor because some people still use it. So supporting new/different versions of windows is already being done not to mention the method for setting up a system service has hardly changed since XP (12+years) Regardless I already have a 2 line patch that ill submit to fix this issue once the site is back up. from web2py's standpoint, having someone else (the nssm process) to care for service integration is more straightforward, i.e. it runs exactly as if it was launched "normally". Of course winservice.py can be patched and fixed etc etc etc but either someone takes care of testing it under every Windows OS, for every web2py release, for every web2py feature, or it will remain as something that "sometimes work, sometimes doesn't". Given that for each job there's "a best tool", and that the "best tool" for this job is: - free - available - requires no absolute time to set up I'd go for nssm all the times (and that's why a slice was posted at http://www.web2pyslices.com/slice/show/1614/nssm-webserver-and-scheduler-as-services-in-windows-oseson the matter) -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
