Take a look at Firedaemon http://www.firedaemon.com/ "What Is It? FireDaemon is a utility that allows you to install and run virtually any native Win32 application or script (eg. BAT/CMD, Perl, Java, Python, TCL/TK) as a Windows NT/2K/XP service. FireDaemon features easy configuration (via GUI or XML), a low memory/CPU overhead, subprocess prioritisation, custom environments, CPU binding plus monitoring and logging to the event log and on-disk log files. FireDaemon is supplied in three forms: a free Lite version (with limited functionality for non-commercial use), a fully functional Pro version and an OEM version designed for redistribution."
