Running Monitor on Windows Box... does it run as a service?

Question

I've installed GW Monitor 7 on a Windows box running IIS and Tomcat 5.5.
If I am logged in to the Windows server and have the Monitor Console open
I am able to use the web based GW Monitor. If I log out and/or close the
Console I am no longer able to run the web based GW Monitor. Does the
server really need to be logged in and have the GW Monitor Console
running in order to use GW Monitor? Can't it run as a service?

Answer 1

Very cool, thank you! I got the agent installed on Linux running as
daemon and the Web Application running on Windows connecting over to the
Linux agent. It works very well.
Now to get the HA stuff working...
