[wpkg-users] why leave client service running?

[Hans-Werner Friedemann]

Hey Greg

What do you think about creating an sheduled task, which runs by example every 12 hours.
So you can start the command "cscript <path to wpkg.js>\wpkg.js /synchronize /quiet" spaced
On a machine, which will never be rebooted...

Betreff: [wpkg-users] why leave client service running?

Hi everyone,
I've just picked up Wpkg again after not really getting it going a few years ago. I'm impressed by how easy it has been to install and get off the ground. Thank you for such a great project, helping to fill in one of Windows' biggest gaps: package management.

I'm grateful also for the pre-built client, such that I don't have to think about rolling my own deployment, and the GUI is good for generating settings for the first time. My question: What is the point in _not_ ticking "Stop the service when all actions are done"? Why would I want the service running if I set the execution mode to be at system startup?

On a related note, what happens with computers that are never rebooted or shut down? Is there some recommended way of getting their package status synchronised?

Cheers,
Greg.
