On a UNIX server, to start acurcl whenever the server boots, add the "acurcl -start" command to the system boot file. Your entry might be similar to the following:
# # If the acurcl executable is present, # start acurcl if (test -f /acucobol/acurcl) then echo Starting acurcl > /dev/console /acucobol/acurcl -start -e /acucobol/acurcl.log fi
On a Windows NT or Windows 2000 server, we recommend that acurcl be installed as a Windows service. This causes the service to be started automatically each time the system is booted. If you do not install it as a service, it will stop whenever you log out.
Acucorp provides an installation script that gives you the option to install the acurcl daemon as a Windows service. If you choose not to install the service from the installation script, you can install it as a service in the following way:
You must be logged into an account that belongs to the Administrators group. From the AcuLaunch icons, select the icon titled "Install AcuLaunch Services." Or, from the command line, type:
acurcl -install
The service will now be started automatically each time the system is booted.
Immediately following the installation, you can start the service from the AcuLaunch icons. Select the icon "Start AcuLaunch Service."
As an alternative, you can use the Start/Settings/Control Panel/Services menu option.
Please note that installing a service on a particular port resets all start-up options for the service on that port. You can use all valid "-start" options when installing acurcl as a service. These options are stored so that the service will use them when starting.
