Register file as service

[Tony Talmage]

Hello,

I have a couple .bat files that must be usable without a
user logged into the web server; I figure the easiest way
would be to register as Services... however, can't find
out how to do it. Is this possible? If so, what
keys/values must be added to the registry to allow me to
do this? I see no standard option to "Set as Service"
anywhere. I would certainly appreciate any insight anyone
could offer; send any emails to (e-mail address removed).
Thank you.

Have you considered just running them from the TaskScheduler?

Anyway the srvany.exe tool from the Resource Kits _may_ be able to. It
was designed for running PE executables as a Service.

Thank you for your advice; srvany.exe did the trick, and
was easy to use, to boot. I definitely appreciate your
prompt response.
