Adding your application to Windows Services
For Windows:
Caution: Windows Service applications are logical extensions of Windows. As such, they can adversely affect the stability of your system. A VA Smalltalk Windows Service application should be well tested outside of the Windows Service environment before installing it as a Windows Sservice. You can find extensive information on developing and running Windows Services in the Microsoft Windows Workstation/Server Resource Kit or in the Microsoft Developers Network (MSDN) documentation.
You can turn your application into a Windows Service. A Windows Service application is a headless application that conforms to the interface rules of the Windows Service Control Manager (SCM). A service application can be started automatically by the system when it is booted, manually by a user through the Services control panel or by another application such as the Service Controller (sc.exe) shipped with the Windows Workstation/Server Version 4.0 Resource Kit. A service application can run without reference to a logged-on user.
