No, it's a windows service. However, I added some code in git to start with DEBUG environment, and then it is not registered as a service and can be run from command line. Please try with https://elmarco.fedorapeople.org/spice-webdavd-x86-0.4.16-9457.msi The service should start. Stop it and run spice-webdavd from command line, with G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all and DEBUG=1 environment variables. Then try to access http://localhost:9843. With virt-viewer/virt-manager, this should accept the connection and close it because the webdavd channel is not connected. With spicy (webdav channel connected), this should actually return the shared folder content. You should be able to re-connect with different clients without service to stop (or crash..). Now, I realize Windows services are more problematic than having automatic restart handled by systemd. spice-webdavd should keep running even if the channel is not opened, and should restart itself when the channel is closed. There are a lot of state cleanup that do not exist in spice-webdavd because it was assumed the process would be restarted. _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list Spice-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
