Subject: NT Service

I know this topic has been discussed before, but none of the previous 
solutions seem to work for me. Has anyone successfully gotten a Ruby program 
to run as an NT system service? I'm making an IRC bot that needs to run 
while I'm logged off, since these machines at work log off every night 
whether I like it or not. I've tried SrvAny from the NT Resource Kit, as 
well as cygrunsrv included with Cygwin. Do I have to compile Ruby under my 
own copy of Cygwin in order to get cygrunsrv to work? That seems like the 
best option, but I've never gotten anything to compile right. After all, 
that's why I'm using an interpreted language like Ruby. Anyway, any help in 
this area would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
