I'm guessing the answer is no since each application needs a window. But just
to make sure.

Can an AIR application run as a service? (i.e. NT service for windows, daemon
on linux/mac started on /etc/init.d/rcx.d)

Is that possible? Or does AIR application require a graphics console to
display to (runlevel 5 and logged in)?

An AIR window does not have to be visible. But an AIR window that is not
visible is really hard to close.

Er, yea true. But will it start up without a console?

I have the same question,
I looked around quite a bit. I would like my air app to start as a service, but i cannot find a way to do so.

If you found something please let us know

Thanks
