If you will update your Loggernet 3.x to the latest 3.x version (from the Campbell Scientific downloads page), and purchase Loggernet Remote, you will have Loggernet Admin ( Loggernet + Loggernet Remote = Loggernet Admin). With Loggernet Admin there is easy to use functionality that will allow you to install Loggernet as a service as well as start and stop this service. (see page 3 of the Loggernet Brochure)
