Hello,
in the versions comparison for RunRev versions, I found thi item:
Build “Faceless,” non-GUI applications and services
Can you tell me what does it mean? I have RunRev enterprise version, but I cannot write cgi (faceless) programs. And what are "services"?
Thank you!

You could build CGI applications and services (daemons) with RunRev. You simply need to start the application with the argument -ui and put your code into the preopenstack handler.
Code: Select all
on preopenstack
put "Hello World :)"
quit
end preopenstack
Syntax: ./demo/demo -ui

As per my knowledge, that option was disabled in version 4.0.

It works under Linux + Mac OS by default and is also possible under Windows with a trick.

It works on all platforms (without arcane tricks, as long as you don't try to use ISS) but not with the engines from 4.0. You need the previous version 3.5. If you do not have that one, mail support so that they give you a download or so.

But with the trick it works also under RunRev 4.
