Service

The QtService component is useful for developing Windows services and Unix daemons.

The project provides a single class QtService that can be used to implement service applications, and to control a running instance of the service.

On Windows NT systems the implementation uses the Service Control Manager. On Windows 9x systems services run as background tasks under the system account.

On Unix systems services are implemented as daemons.

This Qt Solutions component is for Qt 3. For Qt 4 Solutions, please visit the Qt 4 Solutions Catalog.
