Re: Installing spamd as a Windows service

[Jerry M]

Ted,
I used SC.exe and it installed spamd successfully as a service (at least 
that's what sc told me).  But when I try to start it, I get "Error 1053 
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely 
fashion".  The microsoft help on that message is completely useless.

I tried it several times.  I know it's finding spamd.exe.  In one of my 
tests, I left off the path, and got a completely different error.

Are some of the sc optional parameters that are required for spamd to 
successfully install?  Is there something else I need to be doing?

I'm really surprised that there is so little info or support for 
installing spamd a service.  I run apache http, tomcat, and james, and 
they all simply install as a service automatically or just give me a 
command to run to do it.  If that's still on the SA todo list, then I 
understand.  I've just spent way more time on this than I wanted to.  
But I can't deploy it into production until I can get this thing to run 
as a service.

Thanks.

Jerry
