Running RoboTask as an NT service  
Previous  Top  Next


RoboTask can run in two modes:

·As a regular application  
·As an NT service  

An NT service is started together with the operating system and runs even if you are not logged on. If you correctly create your tasks and configure triggering events, it will be enough just to switch on the computer for RoboTask to start doing what it is supposed to do. This mode is important for those computers that are used as servers in your office.

The NT service mode is not available on the Windows 9x/Me platform. The NT service mode is not installed by default. In order to install the RoboTask service, you should click the following shortcut in the system menu: Start | Programs | RoboTask | NT Service | Install Service.
The RoboTask group contains the following shortcuts for controlling the NT service mode:

·Install Service - installs the RoboTask service on the system;  
·Uninstall Service - removes the RoboTask service from the system;  
·Reinstall Service - reinstalls the RoboTask service with the default parameters;  
·Start Service - starts the RoboTask service;  
·Stop Service - stops the RoboTask service.
