You can do this through the command line (net.exe), the Services snap-in (services.msc), or via Win32 API calls from your application. Doing anything else is trying to re-invent the Windows service mechanism - poorly - and is really just NOT a good idea. -- Craig Ringer -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
