SYNOPSIS
appman [options] [commands]
[--args arguments] [--console] [--daemon] [--heartBeat interval]
[--home directory] [--log logFile:level]
DESCRIPTION
The appman program is used to configure the running of Appweb as a sys-
tem service (daemon). Appman provides a generic way to install/unin-
stall, enable/disable, start/stop, and run the Appweb service, regard-
less of the operating system. When used to run Appweb, it starts Appweb
and then watches over Appweb, to restart it should Appweb fail. Appman
also provides general management commands to enable, disable, start,
and stop appweb.
COMMANDS
disable
Disable Appweb from automatically starting when the system is
booted.
enable Enable Appweb to start automatically on system boot.
install
Install Appweb as a service.
run Run Appweb and monitor its execution. Appman will automatically
restart Appweb should it fail. Appman will block unless it is
invoked with --daemon.
start Start Appweb manually.
stop Stop Appweb.
uninstall
Uninstall Appweb as a service.
OPTIONS
--args arguments
Arguments to use for the service program command line when it
starts.
--console
Windows specific option to allow the manager process to interact
with the users desktop.
--daemon
Run the manager as a daemon process. This causes the manager to
detach from the current shell and run in the background.
--heartBeat interval
Windows specific option to set the frequency in seconds for the
manager to check on service. This period should be short enough
that the service will be quickly restarted should it fail, but
not so short that the manager process consumes significant CPU
resources. If the service dies more than 30 times per hour, the
manager will suspend restarting the service.
--home directory
Set the home directory in which to start the service.
--log logFile:level
Specify a file to use for log messages. The level argument
defines the message verbosity. Zero is the least and 9 is the
most verbose.
--retries count
Number of times to restart Appweb per hour.
-v Output the product version number.
