It is way too many steps to go all the way into the control panel's services panel.
As for the concerns about multiple versions of Phoenix on the same machine. That can be enabled by changing the wrapper.ntservice.name property in the wrapper.conf file. This name is used to register the service. It is what will show up in the service control panel. And is also the name that can be used from the net start/stop commands. I think the default name should simply be Phoenix. But it is easy for developers to change it when they need to run multiple copies. When James updates to this version, they would want to change the wrapper.ntservice.name to James for example. This way users would see "James" in the Services control panel and be able to start and stop the service from the command line using "net start James" and "net stop James" Cheers, Leif -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
