I think I have an idea about NT services which is doable in the current framework. So what do you guy's think about spawning a second daemon handling the nt-services fron wineserver ? This could be done optionally ( services/noservices) and they can talk to each other on a unix socket ? Alternatively, you could run the service daemon as a common user on the system and fork off specific wine instances for each user who had registered a service running at an interval ? All these scenarios can easily be handled by the proposed setup, on ly a bit of different setup would be needed. Any comments ? I just wanted to know if I was thinking in the right tracks and if anybody has an estimate about how hard an undertaking like this would be before getting into the effort. / regards, Lars Segerlund.

I would create the services framework to be called by wineboot if the WINE version emulated is Windows NT or higher. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance: Get your refund fast by filing online. http://taxes.yahoo.com/filing.html

First of all, why do you need these services running? If you do need them, I think the best way is to integrate them with the other daemons running on your Linux box. So no, I don't think starting them from wineserver is a good idea. -- Dimi.
