I would like to start an already installed product as a service under WIndows
XP. I cannot find any documentation on how to do this. I can find lots of
documentation on how to deal with a service once it is defined. My specific
questiuon is: How do I establish a currently installed product as a service
on Windows XP. (The specific product I wish to establish as a service is
Apache Tomcat).

Instrsrv.exe installs and removes system services from Windows NT and
Srvany.exe allows any Windows NT application to run as a service.

Srvany.exe: Applications as Services Utility & Instsrv.exe: Service

This information is very helpful........thanks so much. DO you know if
there is a way to start a .bat file as a service?
 
No. You can start cmd.exe as a service, which would host it - but a batch
file cannot be a service.
 
Thanks, Wes..................this has been a lot of help. I sincerely
appreciate your support.
