The VisualAge NT Services Maintenance Utility
(abtntsir.exe) supports the command line parameters listed
below. All parameters are case insensitive and can be specified with a
dash (-) or a forward slash (/) as the keyword identifier.
- -install <serviceName>
- Causes a VisualAge Smalltalk NT application to be installed as an NT
service using the information provided for other command line
parameters. If you specify this parameter, it must be the first
parameter.
- -remove <serviceName>
- Causes a VisualAge NT service application to be uninstalled an an NT
service. If you specify this parameter, it must be the first
parameter.
- -srvDisplayName <serviceDisplayName>
- Provides a name to display in the Services list in the Windows NT Services
window. If this parameter is not specified, the service name is
displayed. If <serviceDisplayName> contains blanks or special
characters, enclose the name in double quotation marks (").
- -srvWorkingDir <serviceWorkingDirectory>
- Specifies the working directory for the VisualAge NT service
application. The working directory is where the image
(<serviceName>.icx), the image configuration file
(<serviceName>.ini), and other files needed by the
application reside. If this parameter is not specified, the directory
from which abtntsir.exe is run is used as the working
directory.
- -srvDebug
- Enables debugging code which logs significant events to file
abtntsrv.log. The log file is created in the
directory where the main program starts.
When your service application is registered with the Windows NT Service
Control Manager, you can use additional command line parameters. The
generated parameters are--
- -i<serviceName>.icx
- -l<serviceName>.log
- -srvName <serviceName>
- -srvWorkingDir <installing executable directory> (if not
specified)
Also, all other command line parameters (Smalltalk- or
application-specific) specified in conjunction with -install
(except for -install and -srvDisplayName) are appended
to the generated parameters.
