Yep, if one runs the instances as services, that’s an easy way to start them, as Arun said.
If you don’t want to run them as services there are of course still other ways to stop/start the instance. And either way, there are options to start them from the command line or a shortcut. First, about Windows Services, besides the command line options Arun offers to create them, note that during creation of an instance it offers a checkbox to indicate that you want to have it be a service. But if you didn’t take that option, use Arun’s info to add it after the fact. Naturally, once it’s a service, you can also use the Services panel to stop/start them. You may prefer to do this from the command line (or a shortcut) instead. While there are also jrunsvc options that could allow you to stop/start the instance’s Service from the command line as well, what I do instead is simply create a shortcut that calls the Windows services controller (net.exe) itself: C:\Windows\System32\net.exe start "Macromedia JRun CFusion Server" and C:\Windows\System32\net.exe stop "Macromedia JRun CFusion Server" Of course, that’s for starting/stopping the CFusion instance. You would just replace the quoted string with the name of the service for the other instances, too. Now, you certainly don’t NEED to run it as a service to stop/start it manually. You can simply run the jrun.exe from the [jrun]\bin, such as: jrun -start instancename There are also –stop, -restart, and –status switches available as well. Hope that helps. /charlie From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Arun Nallan Sent: Monday, December 07, 2009 10:58 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] ColdFusion debugging info Hi Clarke, I had done this in my past project. Please find the pointers to do the right thing at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/multi_instances03.html based on your configuration. Basically, we need to install Windows services for your coldfusion instances by using jrunsvc from the command-line. It is as simple as running the following from your command-line: jrunsvc -install cfusion2 "Macromedia JRun CFusion2 Server" "Macromedia JRun CFusion2 Server" unless you need to have separate jvm settings for each server. Type jrunsvc/? on command line for help on the command. Hope that helps.

Is there an easier way to start/stop the other servers? If so, I could just turn cfusion off like you suggested!
