Configuring Service Shell Start Up

A Service Shell shortcut with switch information can be created, or the Service Shell can be configured as a Windows service.

    Path is the location where you have saved the files on your system.
  2. Right-click and select Create shortcut.
  3. Right-click the shortcut file and select Properties.
  4. Add the following to the end of the Target field: -config profileName.profile -id=Server.
    Where profileName is the name of the profile that to use and Server is the server specified in the profile (Primary or Secondary).
  5. Move the shortcut to the Desktop.
    You can now use the shortcut to start the Service Shell.

Creating a Windows Service

Configuring the Service Shell as a Windows Service automatically starts the Service Shell.

  1. Start the Service Shell.
  2. Select Shell > Create NT Service.
  3. In the confirmation dialog, select OK.
    You can set the service to start automatically or you can start and stop the service using the Services manager.
