Re: Windows daemon

Hi all,

I don't have any clue on windows, thus I need some help.

Is there a way to install a starpack on a windows machine
which is invisible on the desktop, polls a server from
time to time, and raises a dialog on certain events?

If so, how?

I know how to program such a thing, but have no idea how
to install it on windows, if it's at all possible.

Thanks in advance

Ulrich

Under Windows you might be thinking of a service (not a daemon).
There is a package for creating Windows services (see the Wiki).
(The advantage of that is that the process will be started by the
system, not by some user action.)

But what do you mean by invisible? That there is no window?
Just do "wm withdraw ." I think it will not show up in the
taskbar then, as that only shows visible windows that are not
dialogues (or at least that is how I understand the selection).

Or do you mean: invisible in the list of processes? Like a "rootkit"?
Some would consider that unethical, you know.

Arjen
