[GeoNetwork-users] GeoNetwork as a windows service

Hi Guy's
        I was wondering how to get GeoNetwork (i.e., Jetty) working as a
Windows service, so it keeps running when I log out of the server (Windows
Server 2008 R2).
My research found this thread:
http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/Run-Jetty-as-Service-Scheduled-task-td5843356.html
- which does exactly what I want, but the URL provided by Simon for his
app is a 404 now, so that doesn't work.

The other option is to use the Jetty "Windows Service Wrapper" - per
https://ykyuen.wordpress.com/2010/03/15/make-jetty-as-windows-service/ -
but the GeoNetwork install doesn't include any of the elements listed
there so that's a loss too.

Anyone know of how to do this, or where I can aquire a copy of Simon's
little VB program?
Thanks
Jonathan Moules

There is a program sc.exe program for Windows Server (2003-2008) that is used to add services by command-line invocation. This could be used to run "start.bat" or similar, and it is added to the Services panel for management.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/251192

See in particular "sc create":
sc [Servername] create Servicename [Optionname= Optionvalue...

IFF you want to run Geonetwork in Tomcat (that's a big if), Tomcat has native windows installers and service configurations which integrate nicely with windows server platforms.
32-bit/64-bit Windows Service Installer<http://apache.mirror.aussiehq.net.au/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.32/bin/apache-tomcat-6.0.32.exe&gt;

You can then install Geonetwork into the server instance of tomcat, and you should be good to go.

I have not seen a nice UI for controlling 'service instances of jetty'

Regards,
Terry

Hi Simon,
        Thanks. That works great. And for bonus points less effort than
the other options suggested. :wink:

Hi

I tried to implement the Geonetwork windows service below as a test on my
local PC running Windows XP, have installed the Windows service but when I
try to run it I get the following message:-

'The GeoNetwork OpenSource service on Local Computer started and then
stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for
example, the Performance Logs and Alerts service.'

I had a look in the Event Viewer and it appears there is some kind of issue
with the geonetwork-service python script:-

'Python could not import the service's module

<type 'exceptions.ImportError'>: No module named geonetwork-service'

Is this an issue with where I have saved the geonetwork-service.py file at
all? I have saved this and the bat files to my geonetwork install folder, do
I need to save the py file somewhere specific? Anyone else encountered this
problem when trying to implement the windows service mentioned below?

Thanks, Chris
