Running a program as a service?

Recommended Posts

I run Seti@home on my machine, but it's a security risk leaving my machine logged on (gotta keep my bro's friends off). To my understanding, a service will run regardless of if anyone's logged on. Is there a way to set it up so that Seti, or any program, can run as a service?

I don't know how to make it run as a service, but you can secure the machine when it is logged on by hitting ctrl-alt-del and choose 'lock computer'. Programs will continue to run, but you must enter the password to do anything...

Yeah, I know you can do that, but when you're logged off, everything's closed. Locking won't do that. My bro will have to start using this machine soon, as he needs to get at his mail (Was running NAT, but one of the NICs died). If I can leave it at the logon screen, he can do his stuff, log off, then let me log back on without any interruption.
