Windows best strategy to run pg_timetable

[RG40]

Hi,

I see 2 ways to run pg_timetable on windows server 2016.
1- Run pg_timetable.exe like a service, i didn't have success with this way, i created a .bat with the good command line, test the .bat, it's running well, created a service with path to the .bat. The service never started. I tried with the path directly to the .exe with parameters behind but it failed too. I miss something ?
2 - Autologin Administrator session when server start with logon scheduled task running pg_timetable.exe, i don't like this way because i need to set an administrator windows password clearly in register...

Can you help me to define the best strategy for running pg_timetable when windows start ?

Thanks for your help

Hello,

pg_timetable is a cross-platform application thus we have no specific OS functionality built in by default.
That means one cannot run pg_timetable as a Windows service as is.

Of course, pull requests implementing Windows service support are welcome!

One will probably want to use x/sys package or go-svc for that.

Another approach would be to use standalone service wrappers like winsw.

Kind regards!
