   Something I found strange with the Windows Installer is that it puts a startup script in the Start Up folder of the users.  This means that when a user logs in, the LucidWorks start.bat file is run, and when the user logs out... the process is killed.

   Any plans to make a Windows service that can run without a user logged in?

    

   I'm running this on a VM (ESXi) Win2k8 R2 x64 with 64bit Java.

   Hi Damion,

   Yes - there are plans - though I can't yet give you a time frame yet. Currently it's up to the user to setup any process managment though.

   You could probably manage this in the meantime with SrvAny http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=197

   Thank you for your reference for SrvAny, Charlie. I'm playing around with Wrapper, http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.com/. do you have any experience with one of them?

   Hi Eran,

   SrvAny is a bit of a hack, as it doesn't give you much idea what's going on inside the Service - i.e. if the program you're 'servicifying' with it dies, you can't find out why. We've written custom Service code in the case where we need finer control/instrumentation. We don't have any experience with Wrapper, I'm afraid.

   Someone else mentioned NSSM: http://nssm.cc/

   Tomcat uses the Apache Daemon project:
