I have a script that I've set up to run as a service. It does some things and then sleeps for 20 seconds, then looks for things to do, then sleeps again.

The service seems to start ok and does what it should do for a while. Later, it stops working.

If I run the script in the foreground, it runs forever.

A friend of mine stopped by this morning and is having the same problem.

I'm using srvany with the following parameter:

Application: c:\winnt\system32\cscript.exe
AppParameters: c:\gs\pstopdf.js (this is the javascript it is running)

Thank you.
Jim
