Is there a "toggle" for a Citrix user to use a services running on the server?

I've got an application, very simple visual C++ app that we use to submit electronic healthcare claims via the internet that needs to run in the background along with another app. I don't want to have to publish a desktop session in order for this to work but will if I need to since electronic claim submission is a money maker.

First I installed the application as a service, that didn't work. Next I logged into the server and ran the little C++ app under an administrative profile, that didn't work. We've also tried calling it from the application, that calls the app but not the config file needed.

Anyway, If anyone knows if there is a "toggle" to allow users to use a certain service on the citrix server, I would love to know...

Thanks

I'm not very clear on what you are trying to do. You need for this second app to be running when your client runs an app but you can't get it to run?

I need to run an app in the background whenever a user logs on to our Citrix box.

have you considered putting the executable in the startup folder?

I have but it doesn't seem to run. Only works when you sign onto Citrix via a virtual desktop.

well then maybe you can create a batch file logon script which launches the app.

How do I run a batch file that calls 2 different applications?

I have to exit the first application before the other one comes up. May batch file waits until the application is closed.

Thanks
