What is this?

You want to start something as a (windows) service (so headless, wihtoud a window) but you need to interact witht he console later? Yeah this is Screen and this should fix that. You start the screen server in the background and can then start a programm piped through the server so you can read its output later. Right now there is also a web part added so you can manage all added programms.
