Service on Windows

[Scott Hathaway]

Love the stack in WPNXM.  How can I get all the parts to be services in Windows so that they run when someone is not logged in?

Thanks,

Scott

Hey Scott,

i'm glad you like the stack.
You might use one of the following approaches to get daemons running before a user logs in:

a) add a new task via the Windows Task Scheduler and use the Trigger event "On Start" (thats just like autostart, not a real service)

b) there is a little windows tool called "sc.exe", which might be used for installing the daemons as services

 sc create wpnxm binPath= "C:\server\wpn-xm.exe" DisplayName="WPN-XM Server Stack" start=auto

c) an alternative tool for "sc" would be "nssm".

You may find it at http://nssm.cc or https://github.com/WPN-XM/WPN-XM/tree/master/bin/nssm/
The usage guide is here... http://nssm.cc/usage
It needs to be run as administrator:
nssm install wpnxm

then use the GUI point to the executable(s) and set things up.

I hope that helps a bit.

The feature "run as service" should be in the stack out-of-the-box.
I've added it to the todo list: https://github.com/WPN-XM/WPN-XM/issues/165

How is the Status? I need it for my Win2008-Server.

Hallo Marcel,

Danke für deine Anfrage. Das Ticket "Services" ist immer noch offen.
Du findest es unter https://github.com/WPN-XM/WPN-XM/issues/165 .
Es kann gerne von dir oder einem anderen Contributor bearbeitet werden.
Ich arbeite im Moment am PHP 5.5 & 5.6 Support, sowie den entsprechenden Registries.

Welche weiteren Ideen und Vorschläge hast du, um den Stack zu verbessen?

Gruß Jens
