Icecast - Aug 2004 - Icecast2 Win32: any way to minimize on start or run as a service?

Is there any way to run Icecast2 Win32 at Windows startup and at least 
one of the following: minimized, in the system tray, or as an NT/2000 
service? I looked through the docs but couldn't find anything.

Thanks,

Ethan

there is a checkbox on the main dialog that will automatically start the 
server when the main executable is started (i.e. you don't have to click 
the "Start Server" button)..so if you check that and put a shortcut in
your
startup folder it will start.  The only problem is that it won't start 
minimized...

I believe there is some way of forcing a Win32 app to run as a service as long
as it doesn't require any input, but I can't find the details at the
moment.  I can see it being a very useful option for the Icecast2 Win32 program.
It could be then used on a Windows server which are often not logged in for
security reasons.  Maybe something for you to investigate sometime oddsock.  A
service often generates a system tray icon at startup and only displays the main
form when the icon is double-clicked.

IIRC you can set the properties of this shortcut to "start minimized".
Or does your executable override this?

Why not try http://www.firedaemon.com ?
Since I haven't used a Win32 based server is years I haven't used it in
a long time but it used to do the trick quite nicely...

<p>    Is there any way to run Icecast2 Win32 at Windows startup and at
least one of the following: minimized, in the system tray, or as an NT/2000
service? I looked through the docs but couldn't find anything.
