<h1>Running as a System Service or Daemon</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>After installation, Appweb is started automatically as a system service or daemon. You can change this
|
||
|
|
behavior and only start Appweb manually if you wish.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This page gives generic and windows -specific information about starting and stopping the Appweb service.</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><a href="#generic">Generic Instructions</a></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><a href="#windows">Windows Instructions</a></li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
<a id="generic"></a>
|
||
|
|
<h2 class="section">Generic Instructions</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Appweb includes a manager program called <em>appman</em>. This program is used to configure the running
|
||
|
|
of Appweb as service. Appman provides a generic way to install/uninstall, enable/disable, start/stop, and
|
||
|
|
run the Appweb service regardless of the Operating System.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The Appman command takes the form:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>appman commands...</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>Where commands can be:</p>
|
||
|
|
<table title="commands">
|
||
|
|
<thead><tr><th>Command</th><th>Details</th></tr></thead>
|
||
|
|
<tbody>
|
||
|
|
<tr><td>install</td><td>Install Appweb service</td></tr>
|
||
|
|
<tr><td>uninstall</td><td>Uninstall Appweb service</td></tr>
|
||
|
|
<tr><td>enable</td><td>Enable Appweb to start automatically on system boot</td></tr>
|
||
|
|
<tr><td>disable</td><td>Disable Appweb from automatically starting</td></tr>
|
||
|
|
<tr><td>start</td><td>Start Appweb manually</td></tr>
|
||
|
|
<tr><td>stop</td><td>Stop Appweb</td></tr>
|
||
|
|
<tr><td>run</td><td>Run Appweb and monitor its execution. Restart if it fails.</td></tr>
|
||
|
|
</tbody>
|
||
|
|
</table>
|
||
|
|
<h3>Stopping Appweb as a Service</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>Use the following command to stop Appweb running as a service permanently:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
appman disable
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>Run the following commands to restore Appweb running as a service:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
appman enable
|
||
|
|
appman start
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<a id="windows"></a>
|
||
|
|
<h2 class="section">Windows Instructions</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>On Windows, Appweb is managed by two programs:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><a href="#appman">The Appweb Manager</a></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><a href="#monitor">The Appweb Monitor</a></li>
|
||
|
|
</ul><a id="appman"></a>
|
||
|
|
<p>The Appman manager program is installed as a windows service that starts,
|
||
|
|
manages and restarts Appweb. If Appweb fails, Appman will automatically restart it.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Windows services run in the background with little interaction with the user. So to provide more
|
||
|
|
convenient access to manage Appweb, the <a href="#monitor">Appweb Monitor</a> program runs and is
|
||
|
|
accessible from the windows system tray (taskbar notification area). You can start and stop Appweb using
|
||
|
|
either the manager or Monitor programs.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h3>Appman — Appweb Manager Service</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can interface with the Appman program via the Windows Services Applet. To invoke the applet select:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>Then select and double click on the <b>Embedthis Appweb</b> service. A dialog panel will be displayed
|
||
|
|
from which you can start and stop the manager (appman) process.</p><img src="../../../images/services.jpg"
|
||
|
|
alt="services" class="bare-screen" />
|
||
|
|
<p>When started or stopped, the manager will first do the same operation on the real Appweb instance. Pausing
|
||
|
|
the manager will have no effect on Appweb, but will pause the manager itself.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Once installed, you will need to start the service via the Services control applet.</p>
|
||
|
|
<a id="monitor"></a>
|
||
|
|
<h3>Appweb Monitor</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>The Windows Appweb Monitor is launched when you log in. It a quick and easy way to start, stop, and
|
||
|
|
restart Appweb. You can also launch a browser to display the documentation or the Appweb management console
|
||
|
|
(future feature).</p><img src="../../../images/tray.jpg" alt="tray" class="bare-screen" />
|
||
|
|
<p>When you select 'stop' Appweb, you actually stop the manager process which in turn stops Appweb. Similarly,
|
||
|
|
when you select 'start' Appweb, you are really starting the manager which detects that Appweb is not running
|
||
|
|
and automatically launches it. </p>
