Restarting Automatically on the Microsoft Windows Platform

C:\winnt\system32\sc.exe create service-name binPath= \"fully-qualified-path-to-appservService.exe \"fully-qualified-path-to-asadmin.bat start-command\"

\"fully-qualified-path-to-asadmin.bat stop-command\""

start= auto DisplayName= "display-name"

Note – There is no space between binpath and the equals sign (=). There must be a space after the equals sign and before the path.

For example, to create a service called SunJavaSystemAppServer DOMAIN1 that starts and stops the domain domain1, using a password fileC:\Sun\AppServer\password.txt:

C:\windows\system32\sc.exe create domain1 binPath=

"C:\Sun\AppServer\lib\appservService.exe \"C:\Sun\AppServer\bin\asadmin.bat start-domain --user admin --passwordfile C:\Sun\AppServer\password.txt domain1\" \"C:\Sun\AppServer\bin\asadmin.bat stop-domain domain1\"" start= auto DisplayName= "SunJavaSystemAppServer DOMAIN1"

To create a service that starts and stops the node agent agent1:

C:\windows\system32\sc.exe create agent1 binPath=

"C:\Sun\AppServer\lib\appservAgentService.exe \"C:\Sun\AppServer\bin\asadmin.bat start-node-agent --user admin --passwordfile C:\Sun\AppServer\password.txt agent1\" \"C:\Sun\AppServer\bin\asadmin.bat stop-node-agent agent1\"" start= auto DisplayName= "SunJavaSystemAppServer AGENT1"

Note – The start and stop commands entered as part of the binPath= parameter must have the correct syntax. To test, run the commands from the command prompt. If the commands do not properly start or stop the domain or node agent, the service does not work correctly.

Note – Don’t use a mixture of asadmin start and stop commands and service start and stops. Mixing the two can cause the server status to be out of sync. For example, the service might not show that the component has started even though the component is not running. To avoid this situation, always use the sc.exe command to start and stop the component when using services.

If your sc.exe create command did not properly create the service, delete the service and try again. To delete the service, use the sc.exe delete "service-name"command.
