Windows "service" Or Task

[scott@thevalerys.com]

i have it working as a start task and it works great, BUT

 

1: i have it using another domain account to run as (i figured most would want to do that in a business)

it works, but setting it up was wierd and there is no way to control it from another account.

the worker part of the program should be seperated from the interface, so either a web interface can control it remotely or some other mmc like plug-in

 

2: there needs to be a way to set up its max cpu load (so it stays running as a background task)

and a way to limit its network usage.  think of the network settings in utorrent.

 

i can see the initial sync is going to be a pain...

but just to test i synced my music between machines.

 

i can see this being a big help for family photos

Network usage can already be controlled in preferences. CPU load should not be a problem on moderately decent hardware.

 

But I agree (again) that the interface must be separated from the background worker in order to run as a service or task. At the moment I let it run as a task that runs on system start and just kill it via the task manager and start it manually again if I want to change some settings. Linux version already has a web interface, why not use that?
