Automatic Start up using reg key RUN

The new option will not cause any problems with logging or Ctrl-C. It will be available in the next update and the syntax will be --set watch.view=log. With this option, there is no need to use --noprompt.

With 'log' view, logging messages are written to stderr in the same way as with 'console' view. MinimServer still reads from stdin but the prompt is changed from:

Enter command (? for help):

to:

Startup complete - press enter to shutdown:

MinimServer has always supported 'log' view as a fallback for when no graphical desktop is available but until now there hasn't been a launch option to select it explicitly.

There have been quite a few posts from users about running MinimServer as a service on Windows and I think a number of people will want to make use of the approach you have described.

Would you like to create a new Tutorial thread in the Digital Audio section of the forum containing instructions for this? This makes the instructions readily visible rather than being buried elsewhere. The thread title should start with [Tutorial].
