Run as Windows service

[Bill Vlahos]

Xavier,

Will this process start a "normal" Rev application faceless or do I 
need to prep the Rev application somehow to run without a window?

Can I tell when a user is logged into the computer? I want the Windows 
service application to launch a regular Rev windowed application but 
only when the user is logged in but not if the user has logged out.

Thanks,
Bill Vlahos
