Rfcexec is not written with service capabilities.

In the RFCSDK you can find the source code for rfcexec and (with windows programming skills) you can add what's needed in order to make to program able to run as a service.

There are solutions for running an application as a service (without any programming) out there,

but I have not tried any of them.

May I ask what you are trying to do (if there's another way to solve the problem) ?

I am trying to keep this program registered (SM59) to a SAP server.

ok, then my answer is still the same.

Add service capabilites by:

- write your own version of rfcexec.c by adding needed code (takes some skills though).

or

- using a tool which allows application to run as service (google for it).
