[Opensim-users] Exception

[Gwyneth Llewelyn]

I'm afraid I really have no clue; I haven't used Windows in over a dozen years :)

You might be better off following SignpostMarv's instructions for Windows Server 2008: http://signpostmarv.name/2011/02/10/deploying-opensim-on-windows-server-2008/

Also check Fleep Tuque's notes: http://fleep.wikispaces.com/ — she's running Windows, too.

"screen" is a quiet, nice little Unix application that allows a virtual console to remain attached to a running application in the background. I'm pretty sure it's not available under Windows except if you use CygWin, and would probably not be much useful anyway (you can keep all the OpenSim instances simply running, each one on its cmd.exe shell, all open). On the other hand, and this is just an opinion, going through the pains of installing CygWin on top of a Windows server is a bit overkill these days. 

So you can just launch your instances with 

	mono OpenSim.exe -hypergrid=true -inidirectory="./grid/instanceXX"

or even leave -hypergrid=true if you don't want to provide HyperGird teleporting functionality to visiting users.

It looks like "monit" is really a Unix-only application (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/monit-general/2006-06/msg00048.html) but which can apparently also run under CygWin. I've tried to look for a Windows replacement to "monit" but couldn't find anything which is as lightweight as "monit" and provides similar functionality, but I'm sure there are other tools allowing you to check for running processes in Windows 7 somehow (there are tons of them for Unix; monit is just very simple and convenient, and easy to configure) and restart them when they reach certain thresholds.

If you have OpenSim.exe running as a 64-bit process under Windows 7, I'm sure Robust will do so, too :)

Good luck,

	- Gwyn

Most of your page is geared to Lynix and MAC, I can convert most of it and know what I am doing. I do want to be more positive on this line:
