How do console apps run in "silent" mode?

i have developed an app that is supposed to run all the time - does such an app qualify to be called a service? This is a console app (no GUI) - it actually takes the place of a middleware system.
Gimbal2: thanks for recommending the Java Service Wrapper - my application is actually quite simple and im not sure if want to add the kind of complexity that comes with the wrapper.
What i would like to know is how i can have my application run in the background ("silent") - this is what i mean ->
when i start my service (on the console) it should first output initialising progress... and once it has started and running i would like the app to run in the background, AND RETURN BACK THE COMMAND PROMPT to the terminal - so another command may be run to stop the application or even exit that terminal. (by the way, is that what is called a "faceless" app?)
Many unix applications have been designed to run like this, i would like similar behaviour of my app.
Thanks.

yes i actually need the program to run even when the user who started it logs out - so yes it should be a service.
DrClap: this service will be deployed on HP unix machines as well as some SOLARIS, and as for now, im still experimenting the program -and thats in Windows!!
so is javaw the only way to run this service in the background and in 'silent' mode?

  • TS3274 Background apps. How to close apps running in the background.

    I just down loaded iOS 7.1. Background apps closer problem. Double clicking home button no longer opens all my running apps. How will I close running background apps? Thank you.

    Double-clicking home button should still work.  Unless you changed something, perhaps in accessibility settings?  Try varying the speed.
    But there is an alternative:  swipe with 4 or 5 fingers upward off the top, this should get you to the same place.

  • How to install authorware player in silent mode

    hi, I'm looking to install the authorware player in silent

    There is no MSI (nor .exe) for the Authorware web player.

    create your own MSI if you have the proper tool (i.e

  • How to stop apps running in background

    I tried reinstalling MS Office 2011 but cant stop an app running in the background. It needs to stop prior to the install and I cant stop it.

    Install Basics for Office 2011
    Not only should Safari be quit but all browsers and hidden Microsoft processes like the Microsoft Database daemon and SyncServicesAgent. To disable these applications:
    Log Out/In
    Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar
    Log in and hold down the Shift key (this disables all startup items including the hidden ones)
    Restart after installing updater
    Note for the MAU and MERP updaters you do NOT have to restart after updating. These are found in the root Library:
    /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/
    Why Restart?
    The Restart after updater will force a file that stores the version info to update. This should happen automatically but sometimes it doesn't. The next updater will fail and you will have to re-install Office. The restart is a quick step that will save time in the long term.

  • How to print a invoice in silent mode

    Dear Developers,
    I would like to know how can I push the OK button on Printing windows dialog after SBO_Application.ActivateMenuItem ("520") in code. I'm working on a alternative printing wizard and need help on it.
    Thank you in advance.
    Cheers,
    Nghia

    Nghia,
    Please note, you can automatically print invoices when you add them (there is a customizing option when you press the add button you can print out the invoice) our you can use document printing wizard.
    This stuff is not easy, but try the following:
    Logic:
    You should implement a multi-threaded program, which is looking for the operating system actual window, and compares with the SAP B1 Window ID. If differs, then you can send an enter key. (click on default button).
    You can build up thread safe procedure with custom code, but i have used there a timer, which starts when you send the printing, and stops when enter has been sent.
    Add the following code to your addon variables declare section:
    Private Declare Function GetForegroundWindow Lib "user32.dll" () As IntPtr
      Dim _timer As New System.Timers.Timer
      Dim lCurHwnd As Integer
    When you activating the Print Menu, add the following code
    ' SAP B1 Window ID via Windows API Call
            lCurHwnd = GetForegroundWindow()
            _timer.Interval = 100
            AddHandler _timer.Elapsed, New System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler(AddressOf Me.Timer1_Elapsed)
            _timer.Enabled = True
            'RockAndRoll
            SBO_Application.ActivateMenuItem("520")
    Now impement the timer eventhandler (thread safe, you can send any keys like ENTER which closes the print dialog box and ESC when you would like to cancel
    Private Sub Timer1_Elapsed(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs)
            Dim lHwnd As Integer = GetForegroundWindow
            If lCurHwnd = lHwnd Then Exit Sub
            ' Send enter key to Commit the dialog window
            System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.SendWait("{ENTER}")
            'Stop timer
            _timer.Enabled = False
        End Sub

  • How to install applications to remote machines in silent mode?

    Hi All,
    I have the following question and I hope to find a creative solution.
    My application’s architecture is a client server one.
    I would like the server to remotely connect to its clients machines and silently install a client java application for 2 purposes:
    1.     Install new clients on computers that weren’t part of the deployment yet. When the server connects to a new clients he needs send the installation file and execute it
    2.     Updated existed clients (replace jars, configuration files, etc)
    My main goal is to do everything in silent mode (without requiring the users to connect the clients and actively install clients application).
    Can any of you think of a Java solution for this? I think the first purpose if the harder one so in case I ask my users to install the clients for the first time, how do I silently upgrade their applications when needed?
    Tnx,
    Uri

    Yes, but when you have 1000 clients it is a lot of work.
    I would like to have the upgrade process to be done silently. It is this 'silent' requirement that is suspect. Anything silently installing something is dangerous. Are you one of these people who has Windows automatic updates turned on?
    Personally, I am not. but it is good to have the option.
    >>
    Can webstart run in silent mode? I'm pretty sure it can but I can't be certain and I don't know how to do it since I won't ever use silent upgrades. Read the Webstart documentation.
    I can have the server making the client application invoking the URL for the new files (so the user will not have to connect to every client machine and invoke the URL), but how do I do the rest in silent mode?
    btw- I can use PsExec to run the installation on new clients (windows only). My main issue now is how to upgrade silently. If you have other ideas than webstart I will be happy to hear.
