The award winning ServiceMill is the fastest and easiest way to turn your Java, VB Script, batch files, graphical or console-based applications into a native Windows service. Just right-click on any application or script and let the wizard do the rest! ServiceMill helps you to hide sensitive applications in the background and launch mission-critical or client-server applications as services without the need of a user session.

With ServiceMill, control, monitor and rescue your applications as easily and effectively as you do with services.

• Keep your critical applications 100% available.
• Run your application without the need of a user session.
• Create a service in few seconds by right-clicking on your application (screenshot).
• No modifications are required for your existing programs to work.
• Let your program interact with desktop even if it runs on a user account.
• Run interactive ServiceMill services on user sessions on all operating systems including Windows Vista.
• Let your program access network ressources by running it as a service on a user account.
• If your application doesn't support multiprocessor systems, ServiceMill lets you select the processor(s) on which it will run.
• Start, stop or restart your application at specific time or day for backups, unreleased memory, handles, ... (screenshot).
• Raise events that let you execute custom programs at different points during the application life cycle (learn more on events features).
• Support remote & local administration.
• Import or export the configuration of services as an XML file to duplicate them, to backup settings or to mirror the same configuration on several computers.
• Integrates with Microsoft Management Console (MMC)
• ServiceMill includes the Service+ administration console providing you with advanced features to manage not only your ServiceMill services but all your Windows services (custom views, specific properties, monitoring...).

• Run most executable: 16 bit (Dos, Windows, OS/2), 32 bit, 64 bit, batch files, scripts (VBScript, JScript) as a service.
• Run custom applications developed using Visual Basic, Java, PowerBuilder or Delphi as a service.
• Launch the wizard to run any application or script as a service in one click.
• Allow your GUI programs to interact with the desktop and access network resources simultaneously.
• Specify parameters passed to the application.
• Specify window position at startup.
• Display the newly created service icon in the taskbar to control it.
• Specify standard input/output file redirection.
• Create environment variables specific to the application process.
• Restore user mapped network drives when the process starts.
• Select the application priority (High, AboveNormal, Normal, BelowNormal, Idle).
• Run multiple processes within the same service without ending up with orphan processes when the service is stopped.
• On multiprocessor systems, select the processor(s) on which the application will run.
• Reports private errors to the event log.

• Easily define different running states according to week days or hours.
• The application can be automatically restarted if it crashed or if it terminates unexpectedly (for instance, when a user closes the application).
• Restart the application at a specific time to clean-up unreleased memory, handles, etc.
• Stop the application during backups or when the application should not be used (e.g. week-ends, at night, etc.).
• Start the application at a specific time (back-up, specific programs).
• Stop the application while the service remains started.

ServiceMill lets you execute custom programs (batch file, scripts or programs dependencies,...) at different points during the application life cycle:

• "When the service starts", the event called by the service at starting time.
• "When the application is about to be started", the event called by the service just before launching the application.
• "When the application has been started", the event called by the service when the application has just been started.
• "When the application teminates unexpectedly", the event called by the service when the application is not stopped by ServiceMill.
• "When the service is about to be stopped", the event called by the service when it is about to be stopped while the application remains alive.
• "When the application is about to be stopped", the event called by the service just before it tries to close the application.
• "When the application has stopped", the event called by the service when the application has just been stopped.

• Run a program that is not available as a native system service (No user session needed).
• Write your own batch or script and run it securely as a system service.
• Run an application as a service in order to be able to start/stop it remotely.
• Run a UI application under an administrative security context (the user will not have access to the password).

• Windows 2000, Windows XP (32-bit & 64-bit), Windows Server 2003 (32-bit & 64-bit), Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 (32-bit & 64-bit).
• 18 MB of hard disk space.
• Available for Intel x86, Intel Itanium and AMD x64 platforms.
