webshot doesn't take snapshots running as a service #95

Hi Wilson,

I set up your webshot tool for an R-script running on a daily basis to take snapshots of a website that changes every day. The setup works perfectly, if I run the script it takes the webshot as it should. Unfortunatly, when I run that script as a service (nssm), I doesn't take snapshots anymore. Everytime I run the Script it works, if the Skript is run as a servie (nssm calls a batch that calls the R script) it fails. Any suggestion to solve it?

Sorry, I'm not familiar with nssm and don't have any special insight into the problem.

Thank you for the reply anyway. Reason for not woking might be that the script runs in Rscript.exe and not in Rgui.exe. I keep testing.
