Take the 2-minute tour ×  Have you had experience with running a
jar file using a command line, wrapped in a Windows service?
I'm trying to find a way to run a jar file without being logged
into the machine, and since it allows command shell, I was
wondering if it's a good idea.   Original Post:  I'm trying to
run Associated Press's Web Feeds Manager, which is basically a
jar file that can be run when logged in by double clicking it.
I'd like to run the same file but without being logged in to the
machine. In their manual (http://wfm.ap.org/admin/content/help/R
unning_Agent_on_a_Remote_Server.htm) they write how to do that,
using a commandline parameter.  Basically I'd like the jar to
run as a Windows service, regardless of who's logged in, but
Googling it showed it was problematic.  Have you had experience
with remotely running jar files? What are the pitfalls?
