[OpenSTA-users] Running OpenSTA as a service

[Berger, G. <Gre...@Mc...>]

We have benchmark tests that use from 1 to 4 client servers running at one time with each having their own version of OpenSTA and repository.

We are currently developing a front-end application that will configure from one location all OpenSTA environments (repositories along with runtime directories - OpenSTA/Engines/Temp) and start/stop the OpenSTA Test for each client machine.

The Front-end application will run on one client machine while the OpenSTA applications will be executed on other client/servers.

We need to be able to have OpenSTA run as a Windows service so we can control the OpenSTA application/processes from an external server.

Has anyone done this already?
Are there any other ways to do this besides creating a service?

Is there a way we can get a list of all the processes needed to wrap up in the windows Service for the following?
	Start and stop the OpenSTA Name Server
	Start and stop the OpenSTA Texecuter

We appreciate any help you can give us.

Thanks,
Greg
