Hello!

I have problems with services created on ruby tools. I’m using mongrel  
web server

I’m creating mongrel weg server service in following way:

rails\_path = File.expand\_path(File.dirname( **FILE** ) + “/…”).gsub("/",  
“\”)  
port = 80  
sh("mongrel\_rails.cmd service::install " +  
"-N my\_mongler\_web\_server " +  
"-c “#{rails\_path}” " +  
"-p #{port} " +  
“-e #{rails\_env}”

Everything goes fine, but when I logout from the windows (Windows XP  
pro), service I created shuts down. How I can prevent this?

Also my other ruby services shuts down, when I logoff from windows. How  
can I prevent this? I have used win32/Service to create services from my  
ruby applications.
