Windows services

Post by c_andy_man »

I have installed a Windowsservice on Wine.

This Programm shows a symbol in the taskbar-infofield
I want this service permanently to run but wright now the Taskbar-icon only shows, when i run another wine application like "wine notepad".
I also tried "wineserver -p" to make the service persistent.
Still the service will shut down when i close notepad
What can I do?

Nothing. This is by design, Wine kills all services when you exit last GUI app.

So the only possibility to keep the service running is by running an invisible GUI accordingly?
