• Run most executable: 16 bit (Dos, Windows, OS/2), 32 bit, 64 bit, batch files, scripts (VBScript, JScript, PHP) as a service.
• Run custom applications developed using .NET, Visual Basic, Java, PowerBuilder or Delphi as a service.
• Launch the wizard to run any application or script as a service in one click.
• Allow your GUI programs to interact with the desktop and access network resources simultaneously.
• View and debug non-interactive console based application through the ServiceMill Remote Console Viewer.
• Specify parameters passed to the application.
• Specify window position at startup.
• Display the newly created service icon in the taskbar to control it.
• Specify standard input/output file redirection.
• Create environment variables specific to the application process.
• Restore user mapped network drives when the process starts.
• Select the application priority (High, AboveNormal, Normal, BelowNormal, Idle).
• Run multiple processes within the same service without ending up with orphan processes when the service is stopped.
• On multiprocessor systems, select the processor(s) on which the application will run.
• Reports private errors to the event log.

• Easily define different running states according to week days or hours.
• The application can be automatically restarted if it crashed or if it terminates unexpectedly (for instance, when a user closes the application).
• Restart the application at a specific time to clean-up unreleased memory, handles, etc.
• Stop the application during backups or when the application should not be used (e.g. week-ends, at night, etc.).
• Start the application at a specific time (back-up, specific programs).
• Stop the application while the service remains started.

ServiceMill lets you execute custom programs (batch file, scripts or programs dependencies,...) at different points during the application life cycle:

• "When the service starts", the event called by the service at starting time.
• "When the application is about to be started", the event called by the service just before launching the application.
• "When the application has been started", the event called by the service when the application has just been started.
• "When the application teminates unexpectedly", the event called by the service when the application is not stopped by ServiceMill.
• "When the service is about to be stopped", the event called by the service when it is about to be stopped while the application remains alive.
• "When the application is about to be stopped", the event called by the service just before it tries to close the application.
• "When the application has stopped", the event called by the service when the application has just been stopped.
