Subject: How to install a service on a NT server?
| Hi all:
| I have a Java application named MyApplication. I need to run it on a NT
| server. I can type the command:
|
| java MyApplication
|
| But I want to install it as a service so that the application will be
| started automatically each time the machine is booted up and the
application
| can survive logging off. Putting that short-cut of the command in the
| StartUp menu is not what I want because the application window still shows
| up in the task bar and will be killed if the current user logs off.
| Installing it as a service will meet all my requirements. But I don't know
| how to do that. Can anybody please help? I've tried the following methods
| but didn't succeed:
|
| 1) I found a utility called SRVANY.EXE which, according to the
instruction,
| will launch the application as a service. But after I have copied the
| SRVANY.EXE to my NT box, I can't run it because I got an "Internal error"
| message when I run it.
|
| 2) I used the INSTSRV utility to install a command file (a batch file
| containing the command "java MyApplication") to start my java application.
| It seems the batch file can't be used. I probably should have used a .exe
| file. But I don't have a utility to convert my batch file to an .exe file.
I
| found one utility named batch2exe, but that only converts the batch file
to
| a .com file and that .com file doesn't work on the NT (it only works on
| Window 98). Besides, I don't even know whether the .exe file will solve
the
| problem.
|
| I've asked several people around but to my disappointment, there's no such
| expertise here. I've run out of resource. I know this question may be off
| the topic to this news group, but I really don't know where else to seek
for
| help. Hopefully, someone who has the expertise can drop me a line and help
| me. Thank you all very much in advance!
