eccp as a service?

Is there a way to have eccp run as a service... AND always have permanent connection as an option.. cuz... if a pc ever loses connection, the perm connection checkbox gets unmarked... and you have to reset it...
 
I don't recall having that problem. What O/S are you running?

I am out house/dog sitting right now so I can't check what I had setup, but I will try to remember to look when I go home tomorrow to do the stats update.


If you are running NT/W2K, you could also try firedaemon with a CLI client and use the -xmit switch.
 
happened to me on 2k... and xp i think.. i duno.. i just run eccp in the systray... i dont think i'd wanna hide it on my computer... but maybe like...... if i put it on my friends computers or my mother's.... they really wouldnt mind, but wouldnt want to deal with it... plus i'd put it on low settings so it wouldnt even interrupt...
 
Bob,

I'm using FireDaemon on 6/8 PC's and it works just fine...

You have to be carefull not to set the ECCp cli has a normal priority as it slows considerably the computer, u must put it in idle priority.

I haven't tested the permanent connection thingy but hey at the end of the day CTRL+X / CTRL+V and off they go...

Here's an idea:

Before installing ECCp as a service open the GUI client, set the configuration u want and then install the GUI client as a service...

I've installed the ECCp client in GUI mode in the computer I'm sitting now and the only thing I noted about it is the dplist file growing from time to time.


 
so what about running eccp as a win98 service. how do i accomplish that

i've already run the gui installer, than copied over the p3 optimized eccp client files to that directory. how do i make it run as a service now?
 

I think that Services only run in the background on Windows NT/2k/XP...

For instance,

Until a few months ago I had an Apache server installed as a service in Windows 98 and a DOS window was always visible in the Programs bar...

In Windows Windows NT/2k/XP the Service runs in the background and u don't see a thing in your Desktop...

Are you sure? The SETI and DNET clients will run as an invisible service in win9x/me.
 
i think someplace i saw that you run the command-line eccp as a service, but after i rebooted eccp didn't start up again

I'm not sure as I run the GUI. If you really want ECCp invisible you could set the GUI to not display the tray icon.
 


<< I apologise for any errors in my previous post but I'm still a newbie in DC... >>

Don't worry about it! 🙂
 

I'm also still a bit new in these forums...

As for apologising I think one must own up to the mistakes one makes or says...

I'll be uploading 217 more DP's a bit l8r to reach 1000
 
No problem, nagger, services are usually just run on NT/2K/XP. I don't even know how well it runs on win9x. I believe it was the first attempt to 'hide' the app from users before Virus came out with an option to hide the tray icon in the statsaholic clients.
 

Bob,

Follow this Thread, MereMortal explained me last Tuesday how to install ECCp as a service in 2k.

I've choose the 2nd option (install FireDaemon) and then selected the latest optimized client to run as a service...

Installation notices

After FireDaemon installs it sets a program folder in the path Start / Programs / FireDaemon

Choose the Icon under UI, its easier to use...

Follow the program instructions and you're on your way
