Run HFS as a SERVICE - info here!

[PikachuEXE]

I think the packaging(install, service, start up...etc) should be worked at the end

the function is more important

I use this tool: Any2service    
but I've seen that any links to this sw is now broken or don't exist.
If any have necessity of this program, I can furnish it also if,
for first thing, I must see where I have archived this file 

Best regards

[Service tool !!]

Hi all.

There is one more possibility to run programs as a service in ms environment.

Firedaemon works very fine indeed and has lots of tweak options.

*¨HFS¨*   rocks!!

Giving it a shot on my spare Sabayon box, can never learn enough.  In case anyone wonders why im posting so much I just became active again.

None of the solutions above worked for me (Windows 2003)...

So, I just wrote the little script below and created a scheduled task which launch the script every hour :

Code:

for /F %%i IN (' tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq hfs.exe" /NH ') DO if %%i NEQ hfs.exe start %~dp0hfs.exe

If you don't understand the script, it just check if hfs.exe is running and starts it if it does not.

If you still don't understand the script, have a look on the windows help file for the for command.

When using the instsrv.exe and srvany.exe method, to be able to have a gui go to the services panel (start->run->services.msc), find the HFS service you created, right click and select properties, go the the logon tab and tick "Allow service to interact with desktop". Apply, then restart the service and you should have a gui.

Doesn't work anymore in Vista AFAIK.

Does this mean that even if my computer is switched off, will the httpfileserver site still be available?

Yes in the same way as when you press on the switch to switch off the light, then the bulb continues to shine

It is necessary all the same to be a little bit realistic before asking certain questions.

We would almost imagine to be back to the nursery school

No. Of course the computer and HFS have to be running to serve anything.

that question is made every 8 months. It's because many people are used to online web services, which are always online.

Yeah, because the servers run 24/7. Most people don't realize this. There's no magic behind the internet, just a lot of technical masterpieces (like the Cisco backbones, for example).
