I'm not sure about this at the moment. The most user-friendly thing to do 
would be to make Boxi itself the service, so that it doesn't rely on an 
external program, and it can report very detailed status information. 
However, I imagine that a number of people on this list would rather that 
I use Box Backup for the service, and Boxi just to control it. I haven't 
made up my mind which way to proceed yet.

Cheers, Chris.
