Any and each way have right to live :-)

I can add that we was going add for Windows VServer small utility that is in
the toolbar on right side. So user can run/stop from there.
Of course this will be available for Embedded Server distribution.

Yes, Deane,

On idle, Service do not eat CPU time at all.
So only RAM is eaten a little.

Have I correctly understand that you have
    a) client side app made in RB
    b) some RB made app that control Valentina server?
        this is good. We have talk, that Developers
        will be able make around Vserver own apps with GUI that allow
        their users control params of server.
