Automatically starting sudoserver

[warnes]

Hi,

I've been looking into autostarting sudoserver when I log in, without having a terminal window displayed. I have come upon a solution that seems to work. Let me know if you have anything simpler!

1. Create a Scheduled Event to launch sudoserver:
   1. Launch Task Scheduler from the Windows Start menu
   2. In the 'Actions' menu at the right, click 'Create Task':
   3. Fill in the 'General' tab as below: Make sure that 'Run with highest priveleges' is selected!
   4. On the 'Actions' tab, click 'New' and fill in the dialog box as below: and click "Ok".
   5. The resulting action should look like this
   6. Fill in the Triggers tab:
   7. Fill in the Conditions tab:
   8. Fill in the Settings tab:
   9. Click on 'Ok' to save the new event:
   10. On the 'Action' panel click on 'Run' to execute the event
2. Now open a Cygwin window and test it out by typing:

$ sudo touch /etc/hosts

If you get an error message, something is wrong. Otherwise, success!

Debugging tips: Replace 'run.exe' with 'mintty.exe' to open a window showing the output of sudoserver.py.
