On Microsoft Windows platforms, EAServer versions earlier than 4.2.2 allow you to run EAServer as a Windows service so that your application server starts automatically when the system boots. EAServer 4.2.2 enhances this functionality by allowing you to run multiple servers from different installations as Windows services.
You can specify the service name when installing a server
as a service or manually starting or stopping the service. To specify
the service name, use the -servicename argument
in addition to the arguments documented in Chapter 3, “Creating
and Configuring Servers,” in the EAServer
System Administration Guide. For example, this command
installs the Jaguar server as a Windows service named MyJaguarService:
serverstart -servername Jaguar -servicename MyJaguarService -install
If you do not specify a service name, the default is the server name.
EAServer 4.2.2 removes the requirement that the JAGUAR and PATH variables be configured as system environment variables for servers that run as services.
