.TH NTSRV 10.1 Windows .SH NAME ntsrv \- start hosted Inferno as Windows service .SH SYNOPSIS .B ntsrv .B add .IR "svcname rootdir cmd" " [" arg " ... ]" .PP .B ntsrv .B del .I svcname .SH DESCRIPTION .I Ntsrv is a command (for Windows only) that allows hosted Inferno to run automatically as a Windows service, under Windows 2000 and XP. For Windows NT, use the command .BR ntsrv4 , which otherwise has identical interface. .I Svcname is the (proposed) Windows service name; .I rootdir is the root of the Inferno directory tree, including the drive letter. Once added, a service can be controlled using the Windows service manager: it may be stopped, started, or have its attributes changed. .I Svcname is set to start automatically when Windows starts up. Services run by default under the local Windows `System' identity. All Windows processes and threads the service creates (eg, using .IR cmd (3)) are destroyed when the service is stopped. There may be many different services, each with a distinct .IR svcname . .PP .I Ntsrv 's first parameter tells it what to do: .TP .B add Add a new service .I svcname that when started will invoke .IR emu (1) to run the Inferno command .I cmd with any additional arguments. .TP .B del Delete an existing service .IR svcname . .PP .I Ntsrv requires the directory .IR rootdir /Nt/386/bin to contain both .B emu.exe (ie, .IR emu (1)) and .B ntsrv.exe itself. .SH FILES .TF c:/inferno/Nt/386/bin .TP .IB rootdir /Nt/386/bin Windows host executables .SH SOURCE .B /utils/ntsrv .SH SEE ALSO .IR emu (1)
