Run the Streamer as a service...

Microsoft updated my machine lastnight and rebooted it for me... (thank you microsoft for making sure I didn't have any unsaved files) anyway I had to log on remotly and start the server back up, so one idea for the future would be a service mode )

There are a couple of threads about this issue I think.
But I'd recommend you to try out any of the programs out there that can turn any application into a service. For example FireDaemon..

Anyone know of others and have tried, please post it here.
Also, if you solve it and manage to run VibeStreamer as a service without any problem, write a guide and I'll make it a sticky.

Does your system auto-login? You could add it to your Start Menu -> Startup folder.

Good suggestion for the conventional user, no my server does not because it's part of a local domain strange to have a domain at home but I do ;o) but good suggestion anyway

Mine starts up fine & shows the window no problem. However, I always minimize it to the system tray. How can I set that to happen [i2f4bsimi]automagically[/i2f4bsimi] so I don't have to always minimize it to the tray?

I looked through the list of switches and did see anything that would help me.....unless I missed something.

Run this command

nircmd win close stitle "Vibe Streamer"

And there ya go.

OK, that worked but, while testing, it tried to close mi IE7 window as well. I'm hoping this won't pose a problem if I add this to the startup directory. Do you use this method?

No I dont use this method, if it tried to close IE try to use this

nircmd win close title "Vibe Streamer"

But yeah make a batch script

eg.

C\Prog.......\vibe.exe
nircmd win close title "Vibe Streamer"

And it should work.

There is actually this possibility by installing this small jewel application called "runassvc"(http//www.pirmasoft.com/runassvc.php). The rest is very detailed in its readme file within the downloadable zip file. I am using it as I am writing this post in Win 7 so if it's working in Win 7 it MUST work in XP, Vista and why not even in Win Server 2003!
