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.
