System service

JAFS provide system service capabilities for unix and windows. With such a facility, there's no more need to start JAFS manually at each OS boot.

The System service uses Java Service Wrapper for this feature. For an OS other than Linux and Windows, you can download the Java Service Wrapper for your OS and adapt it to JAFS if you need such a functionality.

Windows service installation

You can test the windows system service with the script located in %JAFS_HOME%/bin/JAFS_srv_test.bat

Once the service is tested you can install it with %JAFS_HOME%/bin/JAFS_srv_inst.bat

Warning

Once installed do NOT modify the JAFS installation path if you do not previously uninstall the system script.

To uninstall the system service, execute the script %JAFS_HOME%/bin/JAFS_srv_uinst.bat

Unix service installation

You can install the linux system service with the script located in $JAFS_HOME/bin/JAFS_srv_inst.sh

Warning

Once installed do NOT modify the JAFS installation path if you do not previously uninstall the system script.

To uninstall the system service, execute the script $JAFS_HOME/bin/JAFS_srv_uinst.sh
