NT Service App Wizard

-i

Install the service. After you’ve called your service with this switch, it should exist in Services
control panel applet.

-l account

The service shall run under the given account. This option is only useful with -i together. An
account name must consist of a domainname and a username separated by a backslash. The
domain . (dot) is predefined and addresses the local computer. A correct account name looks
like this: EuroS2Team\jko or even .\jko

-p password

The password for the account of the -l flag above. There is a security hazard here, because the
password is given in plain text. If this is a problem, you might use the control panel applet to set
the account/password.

-u

Uninstall the service. If the service is currently running, then stop it first.

-s

Start the service. The service must be installed before you can start it. Note that you cannot use
-i and -s together, instead you have to do it in 2 steps: 1. install, 2. start the service

-e

End a currently running service.

-d

Debug the service. This starts the service as a console application for easier debugging. You can
simulate a stop-request by pressing either Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Break.

-f

Start service as a faceless application (Win95/98 mode). This flag is implicitly set under
Win95/98. You have to turn your project into a windows application if you want to use this
switch under NT (but it’s better to use a real service under NT :-).
