What is it?
FireDaemon is a utility that allows you to install and run virtually any
native Win32 application or script (eg. BAT/CMD, Perl, Java, Python, and TCL/TK)
as a Windows NT/2K/XP/2K3 service. FireDaemon features easy configuration
(via GUI or XML), a low memory/CPU overhead, subprocess prioritisation, custom
environments, CPU binding plus monitoring and logging to the event log and
on-disk log files.

NOTE: If you followed the tutorial Configuring ccxstream for Win32
you can still do this one. Just remove the shortcut to the batch file
ccxstream.bat from the Windows Startup folder. If you leave it
there, problems may arise when both Windows and FireDaemon try to run
ccxstream.

Download FireDaemon and install.
Create a new service definition and configure as follows..

- Parameters: is just a replica of the command line option used
for the batch file method covered here

On the settings TAB select the Hidden option.

You can verify the Service is up and running by carrying out the
following actions...

Right Mouse Click the My Computer Icon> Manage> Services and Applications>
Services (locate FireDaemon: ccxstream in list)> Properties
Or, you can Run FireDaemon to check if it's working.
Start> All Programs> FireDaemon>FireDaemon Service Manager
