<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">For those wishing to switch, here's my notes on uninstalling BBWin, since I didn't find any. All this assumes one is using the Administrator account, or at least an account with Administrator privileges. Also, if you
use zip somewhere else to package up the WinPSClient files, do NOT use cygwin's unzip to extract them; it will get some Windows permissions wrong, and nssm (if not more) won't work properly. Aside from that, I haven't figured out how to use the svcs test
to detect that the XymonPSClient service is running; maybe I can change it to check for nssm, or have procs check for nssm. But otherwise, WinPSClient seems to be working as well or better as BBWin did on Windows 8, at least on the Windows 10.1 VM on my Mac
laptop.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
