DMXControl Kernel 3 as a Windows Service

TonyJr · September 14, 2013 at 2:14 AM

Hello/Hallo,

Example: Server backstage with uDMX and artnet-node / uDMX node software. DMXControl 3 Kernel as windows service.

Any GUI client can connect, with the same configuration still running.

Also, ability for the Kernel to load a file upon start would be nice. especially as a service. So keep a config file server side.

This would work well for rtc timed environments. Windows service set to recover if crashed.

Note: otherwise, the server will have to have an auto-login user with DMXkernel as startup item and maybe a security risk.

Any followers on this one? Possibility of an embedded kernel device!

Hallo TonyJr,

you can manually install an application as service: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890/EN-US
You just need the Resource Kit Tools for your distribution.

For loading a project at startup just start Lumos.exe with the path to the project as parameter - it's as simple as that.

Hallo Stefan,

I will give the resource kit tools a try and see how good it works.

In the meantime, I will keep watch of the two feature requests that you filed.
