I want to run the text-client as a service in NT - how do I do
that?
Method nr.1
You need to be administrator to do it. The easiest way is if you
have IE4 or IE5 and Task Scheduler. It comes with IE5 and is an
option in IE4. Set up a task to run when your PC boots to launch
it. When you boot your PC, let it sit at the logon screen for 30
seconds or so to verify the Task Scheduler service has started
and it has launched the task. Now it will run in the background
and the only way to stop it is with kill.exe from the NT resource
kit.
If you don't have IE4/5, then use the Schedule Service built into
NT, but you have to be an administrator to do this. Make sure it
is set to run and log on as you. Then schedule it to run in about
2 minutes using the AT command. Type AT /? from a command prompt
for help. You do NOT want to use the /interactive switch. It will
then run in the background. This is easier to use if you have the
Resource Kit as well because you could use the SOON.EXE command
in a batch file in your startup group.
Method nr.2 provided by Peter Yackel:
You need two files from the NT resource kit: srvany.exe and
instsrv.exe. You'll use these files to install SETI as a service.
Here's the procedure:
Copy srvany.exe to the SETI@home directory. (I'll use c:\seti
in this example. I also assume the seti executable to have
been renamed to seti.exe)
Copy instsrv.exe to the winnt directory.
Click Start, Run, and type "cmd" to open a DOS window.
Type: instsrv SETI c:\seti\srvany.exe
Type "exit" to return to NT
Click Start, Run, and type "regedit"
Go to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
Expand it by clicking the +
Highlight SETI, then right click and select New, Key
Type: Parameters
Highlight Parameters, right click and add the following New
String Values Names:
Application
AppDirectory
Now double-click the Application value name you just created
and enter the following Value Data:
c:\seti\seti.exe
Do the same for AppDirectory but enter c:\seti for the Value
Data.
Exit the Registry Editor.
Go to Control Panel and double-click Services.
Go to SETI and double-click on it.
Set the startup to Automatic.
