So why are you starting it as a regular windows program? Does it run that way on windows? I don't think so. Install it properly (so it installs itself as a service) then run it with 'net start <service_name>'. Of course make sure you have some other app running under Wine, like notepad. Or your service will be killed 5 seconds after start.
