Windows service

If you are running procserver on a Windows computer, it is recommended that it is set as service, to be automatically started before any user is logged.

Services can be started/stopped from the 'administrative tools' window.

You can manually also start/stop an installed service from the command line:

To start ProcServer service:

net start procserverd

To stop ProcServer service:

net stop procserverd

A entry is added to the Window Start menu of procserver to start/stop it.

Finally, you can stop procserver remotely using procserver-conf, that send to the server a command to self-stop, but it is not possible the inverse, start it when is stopped. Only can be started locally from the proceserver-conf button if both are on the same machine.
