Is it possible to use Sleep without a webserver?
By itself Sleep executes as a stand-alone program. The only thing it
requires is the Java Runtime Environment version 1.4.2 or greater.
Sleep was designed for programmers to embed into their Java
applications. I've tied Sleep to NanoHTTPD for the purpose of
developing one-off web apps in the past. (Marty probably mentioned
this?)
How to compile Sleep on Windows?
Sleep itself is an interpreter for scripts written in the Sleep
language. You can recompile the Sleep interpreter on Windows with
Apache Ant installed (http://ant.apache.org/). The Sleep website
always has a pre-compiled Sleep jar ready to go though.
To execute a Sleep script on Windows:
java -jar sleep.jar
If you desire to execute a Sleep script without showing a DOS window,
create a new shortcut on the desktop to the following app:
c:\path-to\javaw.exe c:\path-to\sleep.jar c:\path-to\yourscript.sl
Good luck!
