Wildfly as Windows Service - stopping problem

[saadlu]

Hi all,

Just to let you know, I have gone through this

Re: WildFly 8 service does not stop on Windows 2012 R2 core

and still having problems with installing Wildfly as a Windows Service.

I am using <installtion_dir>/bin/service/service.bat to install the service. When I used

service.bat install /user <my_user_name> /password <my_password>

the service gets installed and I can start it but I cannot stop the service from the Windows "Services" program. It times out. Sometimes using the

service.bat start

service.bat stop

command line works, although I found it occasionally blocks.

When it blocks/times out, I had to use Process Explorer to kill the wildfly-services.exe process.

Now according to the post above, using /user and /password flag would install the service with "Log On As" as the user name (or something other than "Local System"), but that does not happen. It always install the service as "Local System". According to the notes on service.bat, user and password is used for shutdown purposes. Either way, stopping the service fails.

BTW, I am using the X86-32bit version.

When installing the service without /user and /password does  seem to work - as in start and stop via "Services" program works.

Any help how I can install the service with a different "Log On As" and make it work?

We had this same problem with WildFly8  on Windows 2008 R2. Adding the account information to the service.bat in \bin\service (same account info that stops/starts the windows service) seems to have resolved this. (it's about half way down in the service.bat file - line 97) One issue I have with this though is that the username/password is unencrypted in the file. I have to figure out a way to encrypt the password and still have this work correctly.
