I've read back into the archives and the search engines looking for an
answer to this, but to no avail. So if I missed it in the archives, I
apologize in advance.
My DBIproxy happily runs on my Win2K box and I am able to interact quite
well with my MS SQL server from unix boxes (which was the point). However,
I would like to take advantages of some of the Services features, such as
automatic start on boot, and retry on service failure. I've tried what I
have found on introducing a new service and have tried to apply this to
DBIproxy.bat, without any success.
To date, I've tried the following:
Introducing into the registry
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/dbiproxy" and
creating the Parameters subkey with the path reference as a value.
I've tried this with both
regedit and regedt32. Rebooting, etc.., and it still doesn't show
up in the Services listings so that I
can adjust parameters (seems neater than also introducing start
parameters directy to the registry).
Perhaps the services won't recognize a .bat file?
InstallUtils.exe -> I'm waiting for my new MSDN .Net subscription to
arrive in "7-10" days. Doesn't seem to
be available outside of MSDN yet.
Srvinst -> Similar problem to above. No access to the Windows NT
resource Kit at this time and it doesn't seem to be "floating" out there or
interesting enough to be available via the jolly roger crews out there.
That being said... I have to believe that I'm not the only one trying to
run DBIproxy on a Win2K box in a background mode....
Would someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!!
Karyn
