<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
i &nbsp;have a small program called copycat that incrementally copies certain files and creates new instances of them rather than overwrite existing copies.<br />
<br />
this program has a scheduler but only runs when logged on.<br />
<br />
i would like to run it as a service.<br />
<br />
how do i go about making it run as a service so even if the server is not logged on it will run.<br />
<br />
is there a standard easy way to make an application run as a service?
