> Setting up eValid as a Service

  Running eValid as a service can be very advantageous at times due
  to the fact that a user does not need to be logged on in order to
  run eValid.

  A user can run scripts in the background without eValid interefering
  with the desktop and can be prompted to send an Alarm once a specified
  threshold ir reached or exceeded.


  (1)  Download a copy of the SRVANY_X86.EXE from Microsoft at
       ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/reskit/nt40/
       i386/srvany_x86.exe

  (2)  Assuming that you have installed eValid to the default directory
       path: 
       "C:\Program Files\Software Research\eValid\Program\" 
       Copy srvany.exe to 
       "C:\Program Files\Software Research\eValid\Program\"

  (3)  Open a Command Prompt window and install the service portion by
       typing: 
       instsrv eValidService "C:\Program Files\Software Research\
       eValid\Program\srvany.exe". 
       The quotes around the path are needed because of the space 
       in the path. Omit the quotes if you do not have spaces in your 
       path. Press Enter after typing the command line.

  (4)  Open the Services utility in Control Panel, click on 
       eValidService, then click on Startup to display the Startup 
       dialog box.

  (5)  In the Startup group, click Automatic or Manual. 
       (We suggest Automatic)

  (6)  In the Log On As group, select the account you want the 
       service to run under, we suggest using the System Account and 
       be sure to check Allow Service to Interact with Desktop.

  (7)  Open the Registry Editor to complete the process by 
       clicking on the Start button, then click Run; in the Open box, 
       type regedt32, and click OK.

  (8)  Add a new Parameters subkey in the following registry location:
       HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
       \eValidService\

  (9)  Enter Parameters for the Key Name and leave the Class field blank.
       Once this is done, the new subkey will appear in the tree.

  (10) Click on the Parameters Key folder then use the Edit/Add Value
       menu command to add an Application value entry of type REG_SZ.

  (11) When you click OK, it will ask for a path, enter this path to
       the eValid executable: 
       "C:\Program Files\Software Research\eValid\Program
       \eValid.exe"

  (12) Click on the Parameters Key folder then use the Edit/Add 
       Value menu command to add an AppDirectory value entry of 
       type REG_SZ. When you click OK, it will ask for a path, 
       enter this working directory path:
       "C:\Program Files\Software Research\eValid\Program"

  (13) Close the Registry Editor.

  (14) To start or stop the eValid service manually, go to Control 
       Panel, click on eValidService, then click on Start or Stop. 
       If you click on start, eValid will appear either as a window 
       or on the taskbar icon area---in the mode it was when the 
       Exit button was last pressed.
       If you are going to stop the service, maximize eValid and 
       click on the Exit button before stopping the service.

 Note: Warning: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause 
       serious problems that may require you to reinstall your 
       operating system. We cannot guarantee that problems resulting 
       from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. 
       Use the Registry Editor at your own risk.
