windows server process

Mark Pirogovsky-3
Hi
I am trying to move  my server type application from Linux to the Window
XP environment.  What I need -- that this application start itself at
the boot up time, with no user interaction involved.  In unix it was
easy - just put the command line into one of the congfig files.  In
windows it looks like I have to make this application into the
"service", install the service into the registry with "Auto" settings,
register service, etc., etc....

Does anyone have any experience in doing something similar ?

TIA

-- Mark

There is a section "Installing as a Service on Windows" in the
Application Developers Guide, page 21-5 (alias p. 403) in VW 7.5.

There is also a package named WinService in the public repository, which
implements an interface to advapi32.dll with many useful functions for
controlling services from within VisualWorks. The method
registerService:path: might be useful.
