(Optional) CPU Bindings: To run the application on a specific CPU, specify the appropriate CPU in this field.(Optional) Priority: To allocate more CPU time to the Arma 3 server, select a higher scheduling priority in this field.Alternatively, this setting may be disabled, in which case the Arma 3 server's messages will be hidden.
To switch to Session 0, it may be necessary to install FireDaemon Zero and ZeroInput.
If you have additional requirement, feel free to modify the code to match your needs. I've attempted to make this as simple and flexible as possible, but it only meets my original requirement of being able to run the Windows version of Redis as a Windows Server. Kill the process if (_process != null) String message = String.Format " Starting. / protected override void OnStart(string args)

Edit the "Cmd" and "CmdArgs" values in the to contain the full path to the executable, and the command line arguments required.copy the files in the binfiles download, or from bin/Release from the compiled source, into the directory containing the executable you wish to run as a Service.The simplest way to use the executable is to config file and then starts a the executable in a new Process. This application reads the path to an executable, and the command line arguments from it. Using Exe2SrvcĮxe2Srv is a program that can be run as either a console application or installed as a Windows Service. Having written several Windows Services to support various CodeProject processes, I decided to write a utility which would allow us to install and run an exe as a Windows Service. As the code I am changing is related to the detection of problems with the connection to Redis, I spin my wheels for half an hour or so before I realize that Chris has remoted into the server, killing my session and the Redis Server.īoth Chris and I tried a number of recommended methods for running Redis as a Windows Service, without any success. I restarted it under my session.īack on my machine, I am fixing a subtle caching bug, and when I start testing, the code is acting like there is a connection failure to the Redis Server. Needless to say, this logged Chris off, and killed the Redis Server. This was fine when Chris was the only one logging into the server, but last week, I had to connect to install a copy of our Search Server for development purposes. This means that someone had to logon and run the Redis executable. The problem is that Redis is not designed to be run as a Windows Service. While in production we run Redis on a Linux server, in out development environment we are running the Microsoft port of Redis on a Window 7 desktop. This is possible on our site because most of the information is read a lot more than it is written, and some information, such as number of views, can be a little stale. Redis alllows us to store and retrieve full documents, rather than querying SQL for the various pieces and composing and formatting the document on each request. We store massive amounts of information such as Articles, Forum Messages and retrieve these items from the cache rather than the database. Here at CodeProject, we use Redis as a distributed cache.
In this article I will show how to run the Window version of Redis Server, or other executables, as a Windows service. Download Exe2SrvcBinaries.zip - 20.5 KB.
