- Information on Using the NT Service
-
- If you are running Windows NT Client or Server you may choose to utilize the
- available TechScheduler NT Service. The service DOES NOT work on Windows 95
- or Windows 98.
-
- All Job types except "Glue-it!" and "Keystroke Emulation" work from the
- service.
-
- The TechScheduler NT Service allows the TechScheduler engine to run within
- the secure server layer. This will allow you to schedule jobs to occur
- without you having to logon to Windows NT.
-
- The supplied service: TKSHDSVC.EXE should be located in a directory that
- will always be available to the OS. Do not put it in the root or temporary
- directories. The installshield routine will automatically place the
- executable in the TechScheduler directory.
-
- Follow these steps to install and activate the TechScheduler NT Service:
-
- 1. From a DOS prompt change directories to where the service is located.
-
- 2. install it. Type "tkshdsvc /install"
-
- 3. From Windows Control Panel invoke the SERVICES icon.
-
- 4. TechScheduler will appear on the list of services. Choose startup
- options: "Manual" or "Automatic" and tell it to interact with the
- desktop. You may need to set up a specific NT user account
- for TechScheduler or use the Administrator context.
-
- 5. Start the service by clicking on the "Start" button.
-
- Follow these steps to uninstall the TechScheduler NT Service:
-
- 1. From Windows Control Panel invoke the SERVICES icon.
-
- 2. Stop the service by clicking on the "Stop" button.
-
- 3. If you have TechScheduler set to start automatically, change this setting
- to "Manual"
-
- 4. Go to the directory where the TechScheduler NT Service resides.
-
- 5. Type: "tkshdsvc /uninstall"
-
- 6. Delete the file.
-
- Warning: If you delete the tkshdsvc.exe file before doing step 5 above then
- your OS will flail helplessly trying to load and invoke the service!
