Re: [coLinux-users] Running coLinux as a service.

[Mark Z. <mza...@gm...>]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I'm running coLinux 0.7.1-hn16 on Windows XP. Here is the output from
colinux-daemon.exe --status-driver:

C:\coPlanet\coPlanet>colinux-daemon.exe --status-driver
Cooperative Linux Daemon, 0.7.1-hn16
Compiled on Sun Jul  9 16:35:25 2006

checking if the driver is installed
current state: 4 (fully initialized)
current number of monitors: 0
current linux api version: 10
current periphery api version: 20

so it looks like the CoLinuxDriver driver is installed properly.

To install a coLinux service I run the following:

colinux-daemon.exe "@C:\coPlanet\coPlanet\pl.conf" ro root=/dev/sda1
--install-service "coPlanet"

I tried running with the debugger but I only got the same information that
is dumped to stdout when I try and start the service from the console with:

colinux-daemon.exe --run-service "coPlanet"

Cheers,
Mark.
