Also compare it to doing things the Windows way: Something to run on startup? Put it in the "Startup" (magic) folder. Want something to do the things a service does, where it gets auto-restarted and auto-run and even logs success and failure? Like three clicks can run arbitrary anything using the scheduled task GUI and things get auto-logged in the Windows Event Log
i guess if i wanted windows, i could use windows... right?
edit for tone:
sry, that sounded saltier than i wanted. i actually went to linux because i was convinced that was the better way to do things, and i wanted to do things the better way.
