Re: [Wrapper-user] console apps and the wrapper

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Arun,
    I have not tried that exact thing before.   The notepad process is 
considered a child
process of the JVM, and thus of the Wrapper.   In order for the Wrapper 
or any of its
child processes to be able to display a GUI the service needs to have 
its interactive flag
set.

    Have you tried setting the wrapper.ntservice.interactive flag?  Make 
sure you read the
docs for this property as there are some tricks to get it to work with 
certain JVM
versions.
http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/prop-ntservice-interactive.html

    Please report back with the results?  I am interested to hear if 
that works.   If not
what happens if you try to launch the Notepad process directly, rather 
than via a batch
file?

Cheers,
Leif
