If you want to run Pharo as a service, I have found nssm to be working well. https://nssm.cc Phil On Dec 29, 2017 09:25, "Nicolai Hess" <nicolaihess@gmail.com> wrote:

Pierce, I tried all of those "no display" options, the result is the same

When I run Pharo 6.1 with -- headless option on Windows, it executes the eval command as expected but during the execution (which lasts 4 sec) it opens the Pharo GUI. Is it expected? I thought headless means that the whole execution would happen in the background
I think that currently Pharo does not have a "real" headless. But I heard there was work on that part for Pharo 7.
I know OP is talking about Windows... I've been running server applications on Linux without X11 with -vm-display-null and in-image RFBServer for access to Pharo over VNC. This works very well for me.
I believe "real" headless means GUI is not run at all and therefore does not consume CPU cycles, which is very welcome. Meanwhile, maybe -vm-display-null works on Windows for scripting purposes?

Hi Andrei,
can you try this:
Open Pharo normal (no headless option). Change the window size to "not-maximized" (eve if it is actually not maximized, maximize it ones and change it back to "not-maximized") Save and quit the image.
After that, a call like
pharo --headless pharo.image eval "DateAndTime now"
will write the output to the stdout file, without opening a window.
