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!
Tom
