NT services ...

[Lars Segerlund]

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

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.
