Run as Service -(Windows only)

The -following step-by-step guide describes how to setup RealtimeSync (or -any other application) as a Windows Service. This is necessary if the -tool shall run on the SYSTEM account independent from currently -logged-in users. If you are the only user and all you want is to -start RealtimeSync automatically then it's better to place a link -into Windows' Autostart folder, specifying RealtimeSync.exe and the -.ffs_batch or .ffs_real file as argument.

1. Get -access to the command-line tools "instsrv.exe" -and "srvany.exe" -which come with the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools:

Download: -http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&displaylang=en

2. -Create and register a new Service via command line:

- instsrv <ServiceName> - <PathToResourceKit>\srvany.exe

3. Link -the new Service with RealtimeSync:

Open - the Registry editor (Regedit.exe) and navigate to key - "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<ServiceName>"
-
Add - a new key "Parameters".
-
Add - a new String value named "Application" - and specify a command line that shall be executed as value.
-

The new -service is now ready for operation!

- Attention:
When running - RealtimeSync as a service the application has no means to interact - with the user. Therefore any popup dialog will halt the process! - Consider the following options when setting up a FreeFileSync batch - job:

Disable - checkbox "Show progress dialog" or automatically - close it after synchronization.
-
Set - "Error handling" to either "Exit - instantly" or "Ignore errors".
-
At - least for debugging purposes or initial setup "Allow service - to interact with desktop". The may show error dialogs - otherwise hidden by the SYSTEM account.
-

You can -start the service now via command line or Windows Service -administration:

- net start <ServiceName>

- Note:
By default the - service is created with start-up type "automatic" which - runs it on Windows start. This behavior can be changed in Windows - Service administration.

-

-

If the -Service shall be removed from the system, enter via command line:

- instsrv <ServiceName> remove
