Starting Sab as a service

Hi all,

I've setup SAB to start as a service (running with -b0 , when running through the wizard it starts a second process rather than restarting the original.
Anyone had this?

Thanks.

As you run the Wizard only once, I don't think this is a big problem.
Restart is a problem.
You cannot use SABnzbd's own restart function.
Instead, stop SABnzbd from its UI and use the Windows Service Manager to start it.

When SABnzbd runs as a service, it cannot really restart itself.
For 0.6.0 we are working on a real Windows service
which should be able to restart itself properly.

Do you record if the wizard has been run in the ini?

The Wizard runs as long as no Usenet server is defined.

So I could check the ini for name populated? Say, enable =1?

[servers]
[[news.newsserver.com:119]]
username = *****
enable = 1
name = news.newsserver.com:119
