Hi René,

Yes, definitely! ;-)

You can take a look at the QtService component:

http://www.qtsoftware.com/products/appdev/add-on-
products/catalog/4/Utilities/qtservice/

It provides a framework for a UNIX daemon or Windows service.

On top of it, especially if you are targeting Windows, I would recommend
putting the application code into a (static) library and create 2 applications 
that link to it:

- the Service application
- A simple command line client or Windows application with a log window

The command line application let's you test and debug the server conveniently, 
saving the hassle starting/debugging services or daemons.

I hope this helps,

Regards,
Friedemann
