Excellent. Thanks. The only problem I'm still running into is when I stop the service I get a "Error 109: The pipe has been ended". After looking at this ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-103 ) and this (https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/activemq/trunk/activemq-console/src/ma in/java/org/apache/activemq/console/Main.java) the errors makes more sense. I'm not sure if there's a workaround other than modifying Main.java to not call System.exit(0); The only option I see is to test for an additional argument like (--noSystemExit).

I am waiting for approval to contribute the wrapper code, and start/stop scripts for RHEL, and this should tie in nicely with the windows work you have done. I created a JIRA for this: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-2968, as I am just waiting approval for the Java code Yahoo! Has created, and it looks like you have the windows side done, all that is left is the shell scripts for start/stop on Linux. --Allen -----Original Message----- From: Pitre, Russell [mailto:rpi...@shawmut.com] Sent: Friday, October 08, 2010 6:05 AM To: users@activemq.apache.org Subject: Service Wrapper on Windows Server 2008 R2 I recently wrote a blog article about using Commons Daemon Procrun as a service wrapper for ActiveMQ running on Windows server 2008 R2 64-bit. Passing the link along for anyone who may find it useful. I searched for alternative 64-bit compatible service wrappers on windows systems and didn't come up with any solutions that I found would make it easy to manage and configure the windows service, so I gave Procrun a shot, I figured if Tomcat ships with it, why not try it out with ActiveMQ. Let me know if you see any errors or gotchas. http://blog.bigrocksoftware.com/2010/10/07/commons-daemon-procrun-as-a-j ava-service-wrapper-for-activemq/ Thanks -Russ
