Re: [Wrapper-user] Programatically start a service from java

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Daniel,
    The Wrapper does not provide a direct way to start or stop an 
external service directly
from within a Java application.   It does however allow you to define 
dependencies on other
services to make sure that they are started before your java application 
is started.  There are
some gotchas on system shutdown however, so be sure to read over the 
following docs:
http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/prop-ntservice-dependency-n.html

    One way for you to start and stop other services would be for you to 
write a simple
method in your application to do so.   You should be able to use the 
Runtime.exec methods
to run a command directly like "net start foobar" or "net stop 
foobar".   Have not tried
this myself, but I don't see why it shouldn't work for you.

Cheers,
Leif
