sc.exe to create service

[mike22584]

Hello,

Is it possible to create a jboss service on a windows machine using the command line program sc.exe. If so, how can I do it. Any help is greatly appreciated. I am having some problems with running on a 64-bit server. Here is the sc.exe documentation: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/251192

Thanks,
Mike

From my reading, sc.exe is used to install services. That is, the app in question must already obey the Windows service protocols. Unfortunately, Java apps do not support that protocol.

If you want to run as a Windows service, check out JBoss Native at http://labs.jboss.com/jbossweb/downloads/. There is a 64-bit variant. Look at the readme in the download.
