Forum :: Lounge :: Background Server Runner

Lawl Desmond you gave me the idea with your server hoster. :)

Heres a little program i made, Run it, select your server location, then bam! click "Run in the background" and its running without the Console UI and the server is still hosting.

Can run any application in the background without the annoying Console UI but mainly for servers. Post suggestions here for it. Heres the ZIP

http://wildsurvival.users.anapnea.net/downloads/BackgroundServer.exe 

Requirements : .Net Framework will probrably required. As its in VB.Net

Currently working on :

List of backgrounded files [FINISHED]

Kill Process [FINISHED]

Hide Process [FINISHED]

Show Process [FINISHED]

Tray [FINISHED]

Input command [IMPOSSIBLE due to using ShellExecution needing to be false for IO.Stream to work for StandardInput]

Woot! Update V2 : http://wildsurvival.users.anapnea.net/downloads/BackgroundServer.exe

Woot!  V3 Has Tray Button!

Nice, will use this.

A suggestion is to hide it to the toolbar at the bottom right.

Create your own destiny, don't let someone else do it for you.

Can't you just use TrayIT? :O

Will do, thanks for the suggestion.

Edit: Had trouble with kill command to end process, Lawl. VB.NET Sucks at that xD

Edit: Now having trouble unhiding and rehiding the process because VB.Net doesnt have anything for hiding and showing open applications.

Edit: VB.NET ShowWindowsAsync sucks so i need to make something for it for SW_SHOW to show a hidden window, this is because the VB.NET handlers for it messes up when its been hidden already and always returns false after it has been hidden.

If anyone has a solution to the above, reply. P.S. BackgroundServer Hide command works :o just not show command.

Glad to inspire you. I did have on in VB that minimized it into the System Tray but I deleted that at least a year ago now.

Yeah also had an idea to send commands to the console from the server runner but im doing that after i get the stupid ShowWindowsAsync SW_SHOW working. Btw, do you know how to get passed this?

Btw, Snow there is one just havnt released that copy yet. I will release when i get the show command to work.

Edit: Oh noez, cant use input

VPS is a server hosting service. Which im not hosting anything.

Edit: Ok V2 is the new with all the features added, double click the selected in the listbox and it will bring up your options.

Sorry havent download it yet but does this also have a kill switch? And im looking forward for more updates!! :D

I noticed if you runn a restart.exe the eoserv.exe wont be runned in it too, so if i hosted two servers with that on my vps they would not be background runned and it would lagg, is there anyway you can fix this?

Well this really isnt made for a VPS, it also does have a kill switch, to kill just double click the selected process and click stop.
