last few Q's: services daemons cron

a) Is it preferred to start daemons as services? (BTW: I have only
a hazy idea as to what exactly a service IS under NT)
I assume that this is what I want to do, as I'd prefer not to
have to stay logged into a bash all the time. Can I just tell
the NT service manager to start *netd on startup? Or am I gonna
have to use that srvany.exe utility I keep hearing about?
b) Has anyone ported cron/crond? I can't seem to figure out at.
c) Where is /dev/ ? I made a directory and touched /dev/null just
so I could > stuff to /dev/null, but what about all of the ttys
and so on?
Whew! I apologize if any of my questions have been gone over before.
I appreciate any help you all might be able to offer!
Thanks,
Byron
