Arvind,

As far as I know the whole point of a service is that it will always run,
even when there is no desktop (like when no-one is logged on). I've build a
few services myself and those services create a logfile in wich the status
of progress can be retrieved.
I suppose you could create a monitoring winforms app, this app will then be
communicating with the service. I'm not sure how to approach this but maybe
someone else on this group can help you with that, I would be interested in
this also.
