Orioners, We have implemented JNT (http://www.eworksmart.com/jnt/) to start the Orion server on our W2K server as a service. The JNT application loads the Orion start-up command as a service nicely. JNT also uninstalls the service fine. The issue begins when we use the W2K services tool to stop the Orion service. I am concerned that the W2K service does not properly shutdown the Orion server as we get the following error. ======================= Could not stop the Orion service on Local Computer Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. ------------- | OK | ------------- ===================== Does anybody have a suggestions or experience with using JNT or the W2K service tools.
