  • Starting Bot-Gate question

    From RickV@1:103/705 to All on Friday, October 09, 2026 08:33:44
    Hello everybody!

    Would someone share the way they start Bot-Gate in Windows? I have tried NSSM, and some other ways but for some reason they don't answer. It loads but just doesn't answer. I have to use a batch file in the startup folder to get it to work correctly and answer. Anyone with an idea?

    Thanks,
    RickV

    Just put a shortcut in shell:startup.

    That's the way I have it setup now, with a batch files there.

    Ok, probably the best way to do it, other than starting it from the registry! Easier to restart if necessary this way as well.
