I am quite new to the daemon process and java, and was just given the following script for running a daemon process. I can generally understand the structure of this script. But I have several questions:
What do “Install”, “StdOutput”, “StartClass” and “StartMode” mean here? Looks to me “Install” is an operations and “StdOutput” is a file name; and “StartClass” is just a java class file. And this script is just a list of these information. Is my understanding correct?
commons-daemon-1.0.8-bin-windows\prunsrv.exe//AB/TestService
--Classpath="D:\TESTFOLDER\TestService.jar;D:\TESTFOLDER\;D:\TESTFOLDER\lib\weka.jar;
" --LogPath="d:\TESTFOLDER\logs\testprocess.log" --Install="d:\TESTFOLDER\commons-
daemon-1.0.8-bin-windows\prunsrv.exe" --StdOutput="d:\TESTFOLDER\logs\std.out"
--StartClass="com.Group.TestService" --StartMode=Java --JavaHome="c:\Program Files\Java
\jdk1.6.0_02" --Jvm="c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02\jre\bin\jvm.dll"
The following page should help you: http://commons.apache.org/daemon/procrun.html
It explains what procrun is and what each of the command line parameters are. i.e.
--StdOutput: Redirected stdout filename. If named auto file is created inside LogPath with the name service-stdout.YEAR-MONTH-DAY.log.
