Hey guys.

So I created a Scheduled Task to run GUIMiner before startup.
If I log into the pool I can see it's working as I'm getting Mhash/s so that's good....

But what I really want is for it to run before startup (as it does via Task Scheduler) but when I log into the PC I can see the program running.

As currently even if I log it, I cannot see it.

Does that make sense?
 
You cannot have a task running before you log in and then have it showing up after you log in. It does not work that way. You would be better off running the service and having a gui that interacted with it.
 
Dang...

Is there any program or way to do what I would like?
I know you say service but not sure how to do that...

Basically its a miner for Bitcoins, but I want it so that if the PC restarts because of update or some other reason, it will automatically start mining again when the PC turns back on.
But then when I get home from work I can log in and see whats happening and open the mining app and see how its going.
 
Got a link to the app you use as there is bound to be a way of running it headless then using another app to view its output. Its what I did many moons ago with the SETI@Home project.

Adding the Miner as a service is easy, google "adding guiminer as system service" and it will be one of the first answers you get.

I take it you want to do something similar to This where it talks about having a command line client running constantly and using a gui front end to see what its been upto
