acurcl -install

The "acurcl -install" command is for Windows NT and Windows 2000 servers only. It installs AcuLaunch as a Windows NT/2000 service. Optional arguments to "-install" include:

Option Description
server Specifies the name of the server machine. If no server is specified, the server is assumed to be the local host.
depends You can add service dependencies to the installation of AcuLaunch as a service. You can add as many service dependencies as you want. You just need to use the "-depends" option for each one. The name of the service should be used as the argument following "depends" on the command line.
any valid start options Any valid "-start" option can be used for "-install". (Refer to "-start" below for a list of options.) Note that these options are stored for service start-up on this particular port. For example, to run the service with the arguments "-c c:\etc\server1.cfg -le c:\tmp\server1.log" on start-up, you would use the following "-install" command:

acurcl -install -c c:\etc\server1.cfg -le c:\tmp\server1.log

Installing a service on a particular port resets all start-up options for the service on that port.

If no options are stored for a service, then starting the server on a particular port automatically installs a service on that port and stores the options used. In other words, you can install and run a service with one set of arguments and then occasionally run the service with different arguments by using "acurcl -start".

If you plan to have multiple instances of the AcuRCL service running at the same time, each instance will have a unique name. The name of an installed service will be "AcuRCL X", where X is the port number. If you do not use the "-n" option, then the name of the service will be "AcuRCL".

Clients can, in turn, be assigned to a particular instance of the AcuLaunch service via the <server:port> notation of the acuthin command.
