This is the info I have collected on it so far.

You can run the webshell client as an NT service using the SRVANY.EXE
utility
that comes with the Windows NT Resource Kit.In that directory are the
SRVANY.EXE file and the SRVANY.WRI file. The latter is in Windows Write
format
(can be read with WordPad), and provides general information on using
SRVANY.EXE to run a Windows NT applicaiton as a service.
Using the SRVANY.WRI file for reference, here is my procedure:
1) Install SRVANY.EXE as a service with this command (from an MS-DOS
prompt):
     INSTSRV WebShell D:\NTRESKIT\SRVANY.EXE
This will create a new NT service called "WebShell".
2) Run REGEDT32 to edit the NT registry. ***** CAUTION ***** Always use
this
utility with extreme care. Incorrect changes to the registry can cause
problems
for your system, even possibly rendering it unbootable.
3) Add a key under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebShell called
"Parameters". To that key, add the three values shown in the table below:
VALUE NAME        DATA TYPE     STRING
-------------     ---------     -------------------------------------------
Application        REG_SZ       c:\win32app\ibm\adsm\baclient\webshell.exe
Application        REG_SZ       c:\win32app\ibm\adsm\baclient\webshell.exe
AppParameters      REG_SZ       3019 c:\win32app\ibm\adsm\baclient\wsstuff
AppDirectory       REG_SZ       c:\win32app\ibm\adsm\baclient
"Application" represents the path to the webshell executable. Your path may
be
different, depending on where you installed ADSM.
"AppParameters" represents the port number used to connect to the webshell,
and
the directory of the webshell and ADSM IDs and passwords (these are the
ones
you created with the MKWSPSWD.EXE and ADSMPSWD.EXE utilities). I picked
port
number 3019, and I stored my password files in the ...\wsstuff directory.
Your
port number and password file directory may be different.
"AppDirectory" is the directory where the DSMC.EXE executable resides. Your
directory may be different.
4) Close the registry editor.
5) Go into the "Services" applet (from "Control Panel"), and start the
WebShell
service.
At this point, you should be able to start your browser and point it to the
webshell. In my sample scenario above, the URL is
http://storman.sanjose.ibm.com:3019/webshell

ADSMer's
        Is there any way to run the webshell as a service without
starting a MS-DOS window??  We are trying to do this on the NT servers
that we are backing up, and to keep the MS-DOS session running you must
leave yourself logged in, which poses a security threat.  Any ideas??
