3.2.2 Configuring Windows services for JBoss Application Servers

If the JBoss Application Servers of your cluster run on a Windows operating system, you may optionally install Windows services to manage them. The Windows service provides a GUI that simplifies starting and stopping of the application servers of your cluster.

You must install JBoss Application Server before you create the Windows service to manage the application server. You must create a separate Windows service to manage each JBoss Application Server of the cluster. See 11 Appendix - Configuring JBoss as a Windows Servicefor information about using the JBoss Web Native Connector to configure JBoss as a Windows service.

To start JBoss Application Server as a Windows service:

 On a JBoss Application Server of the cluster, select Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services, then select the Windows service for JBoss Application Server and click Start.
Note: When starting JBoss Application Server as a Windows service, the console output is redirected to the file run.log. You can inspect the file to discover any errors that occur during service startup.

To stop JBoss Application Server as a Windows service:

 On a JBoss Application Server of the cluster, select Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services, then select the Windows service for JBoss Application Server and click Stop.
Note: When stopping JBoss Application Server as a Windows service, the console output is redirected to the file run.log. You can inspect the file to discover any errors that occur during service shutdown.
