Running as an NT service

The ImplRepo_Service.exe can now also function as a Windows NT Service. The -c option can be used to install and remove the service (this requires Administrator access on the machine).

Note:
When using the ImplRepo_Service as a service, it must have all of its required ACE/TAO DLL's in the path or in the same directory. For example, the run_test.pl copies ImplRepo_Service.exe to the ACE_wrappers\bin directory before using "-c install". Alternatively, You can set the usual ACE_ROOT, TAO_ROOT, and PATH environment variables on a system wide basis.
The service can be then started either from the Windows NT "Services" Admin Tool or via the "net" program on the command line:

net start "TAO Implementation Repository Locator" net start "TAO Implementation Repository Activator"

The Implementation Repository supports start and stop but not pause.

Service Options

Any options that are specified along with -c install, will be saved in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TAOIMRActivator\Parameters and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TAOIMRLocator\Parameters. For example: ImR_Activator -c install -d 3 -l -m -o activator.ior -x persist.xml -t 30 -orbendpoint iiop://:9988 -orbdebuglevel 1

The order of arguments makes no difference, but you must run -c remove and then -c install if you want to change the parameters.

You can also manually change these using the typical regedit utility.
