Re: [Wrapper-user] Remote Start/Stop

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

Ross,
    Currently the only non-standard way to start a service is by 
executing the Wrapper
with the -t (Start) or -p (Stop) command line options.  This does what 
net start/stop
does but works much more reliably when the service takes more than a few 
seconds
to either start or stop.

    You can make use of some of the other features to stop your service 
remotely.
The wrapper will shutdown if its anchor file is deleted:
See http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/prop-anchorfile.html

    You can also set up the Action server.  See WrapperActionServer in the
javadocs for details.  It lets you connect and control the Wrapper via 
telnet.
This is a security problem if allowed remotely of course.

    If you have any ideas for how to implement what you are asking, please
post them and I'll try to work them into a future release.

Cheers,
Leif
