Running server automation task as a Windows system service enables KLIP/KLIM Responder to run unattended in the background. Windows service can be configured to start when the operating system is started and run in the background as long as Windows is running. Alternatively, a service can be started manually or by an event. Because Windows services operate in the context of their own dedicated user accounts, they can operate when a user is not logged on. System service is being automatically triggered at predefined time intervals (e.g. each 2 hours), as specified in "Interval" application setting.
