Hi Karen,
The Unix script won't work (it might be OK under Cygwin) - you can
convert to dos, but if the logged in session is exited, the console app
*will* be closed and the handle server shutdown.
The best way to run the handle server under Windows is to install it as
a service. There isn't anything provided 'out of the box' to do this,
but it's actually quite easy to achieve with the Java Service Wrapper
<http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/introduction.html>
You should download this and install it somewhere on your server. Then
create a configuration file for it - I've attached a template for you to
get started. You will need to replace the @@....@@ sections with
appropriate values at least.
IMPORTANT: This is used to start the wrapper, and won't have access to
the dspace.cfg at this point, so you MUST define the full correct path
names explicitly.
Then, from the wrapper's bin directory, run:
wrapper -i path.to.configuration.file
to install the service.
As it stands, the template will set the service to automatically start
with windows. You can manually start / stop it by running 'net start' or
'net stop' with the value defined for wrapper.ntservice.name - ie:
net stop handleServerDSPACE
(given the name in the template configuration file).
Or, you can control the service from the services control panel.
