Hi I have a Ubuntu server with a mySQL database. A third party software company has created a windows service who makes queries to the mySQL database, and present the data on a web portal hosted by the same company. Now, I want to install this service on the Ubuntu server, and make it run continously. Is it possible to give a wine commandline in a script to start a windows service, and place this script somewhere to make it start with the server ? Or maybe there is other options ?

However Wine kills all non-gui apps (services, drivers, etc) when last gui or console program exists. Here is what you can do: - Ask for Linux version of this program. If it's running as a service it should be easy to port to Linux. - Ask for a console version of this application. It will run under Wine by itself.
