Need to start a service after disk mount

[THEaix]

We have an app(service)that requires a particulair Virtual PGP disk(D to be mounted before it starts. I was wanting to create a "service dependence" but not sure if that is the solution. Does anyone have a fix for a simuliar issue?

Thanks

If the Virtual disk is mounted via a command, you can use the SRVANY resource kit tool to setup the executable as a service and from there add you can use the service as a dependency for your app

Or another thought would be to set the app service to start manually. Write a simple vbs or bat script and put in scheduled tasks to run at bootup. Have the script sleep for 2 minutes or how ever long you need, then start the app service. Not terribly elegant but workable.
