1) Adding a Scheduled Task (as described in forum thread 74683)This can only work for the automatic startup of calibre-server during a logon of a user. It can only work if the user defined in the scheduled task is the same user that is logging in. The startup opens a DOS (or CMD) window with "C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe" in the window title. Automatic startup during boot is unsuccessful regardless of user credentials. |
I don't log in, yet I do have the server running with this method...
Run: "C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibre-server.exe" --daemonize --password wachtwoord --username naam
Start in: C:\PROGRA~1\Calibre2
Run as: domainname\username (with password, naturally)
Schedule: at system startup
