[Buildbot-devel] WinXP and Login Sessions

[Mark MacVicar]

Yep, I am using that bit of code in my python script that starts Buildbot.

Yeah, it only has a problem when I logout during a build. The service
keeps running, just that one build has problems.

I'll try using the script you pointed at
(http://buildbot.net/repos/trunk/contrib/windows/buildbot_service.py).
I've seen that script before but hadn't heard much about it.

Thanks,

Mark MacVicar
