Daemon mode vs. Scheduled Task

Is there a difference running Sesame in daemon mode versus starting it as a Scheduled Task? Starting it with the task scheduler appears to work just like daemon mode, but I was wondering if I am overlooking something.

The reason I want to start it with the task scheduler, is so it doesn't need a user to log in for Sesame to start.

If you are running Sesame "non-interactively", by any means, you should run it using the "-daemon" flag. This flag tells Sesame not to try to use a GUI. If started as a service or scheduled task, you may not see the GUI that Sesame is trying to use, but without the "-daemon" flag, Sesame will still be trying to use a GUI and in those cases, shouldn't.

Here are instructions for setting this up to do what you want:

Thank you very much Mark! As always, a very quick response.  Smiley

I thought about using the -daemon switch with Task Scheduler, but wasn't sure if it was needed. Now I know. (I should have thought to look at the knowledgebase myself.)

Thanks again.
