Adding your application to Windows Services
For Windows:
You must be working in Windows to make your application available as a Windows Service.
Caution: Windows Service applications are logical extensions of the Windows operating system. 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 Service. You can find extensive information on developing and running Windows Service applications in the Microsoft Windows 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 Server Resource Kit. A service application can run without reference to a logged-on user.
