Re: [coLinux-devel] ANN: CoLinuxService v0.1 released

Hi Dan!

That's exactly what I was going to release 15 minutes ago ;-)))))))))))
ctrl_alt_del is included.

Patch is attached. Can you please review it (I probably have done everything
wrong) and add it to coLinux ?

I did it like that:

INSTALL:
colinux -c c:\path\to\config\file.xml -i ServiceName

RUN:
net start ServiceName
net stop ServiceName

REMOVE:
colinux -r ServiceName

If you don't provide ServiceName then "CoLinux" is used instead.
