I've used the open-source 'Java Service Launcher (JSL)'
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/jslwin) for about a year. It's easy to
setup and configure and seems stable. It's also pretty small (an .exe file
(40k) and an .ini file (1k) are all you need).

I will give it a try thanks.

BTW I got part way there by using srvany.exe and the StartNetworkServer.bat
however it runs but I don't know it that is sufficient.

Hi  Michael -

I have not done this myself but assisted a developer in getting this
working.  The main issue was that the Network Server requires a console and
(as I understand it) there is no default output console associated with
processes running as a service.  There are probably a number of ways to get
this working, in this case the developer was successful using the open
source Java Service Wrapper by Tanuki Software.  Access this software at:
http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/index.html.

Hope this helps.
