FireDaemon

If an application must run as soon as a particular machine has booted the appplication must be converted into a service. Dyalog does not provide this itself, so you have to use a tool for this.

There are several utilities available to do the trick, some of them free. However, they differ in many respects. FireDaemon is one of the best in terms of usibility and ease-of-use, also it is not free.

What makes FireDaemon really outstanding is that it cancels the Dyalog process if necessary: if you stop a service, the application is politeful asked for quitting. Dyalog is not designed to listen to such an event and therefore ignores it. Most utilities then - do nothing! That means that also the service is stopped, the application remains running. FireDaemon on the opposite then kills the process that is associated with the application in question.

You can try FireDaemon before buying it from http://www.firedaemon.com/
