>can we run gatekeeper as service GNUGK.EXE is not implemented as a service process under Windows. There are however several tools available - do a google search, or you can write your own simple windows service process and spawn gnugk as a child process. The service process can monitor the status port and send commands such as 'shutdown' and wait for the child process to exit. The gk itself would need some minor modifications to handle: CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT CTRL_C_EVENT CTRL_SHUTDOWN_EVENT in WinCtrlHandlerProc(). Regards, Franz.
