ProtoBase NT service
The ProtoBase NT service automatically starts and stops the ProtoBase application’s processes upon system startup and shutdown. The ProtoBase NT service can be manually stopped and started by performing the following:
1. Click START, and then click RUN. The RUN dialog appears.
2. On the RUN dialog, type services.msc, and then press Enter.
3. The Windows Services Applet appears.
4. Scroll down the list of system services to the ProtoBase NT Service.
5. Right-click on the ProtoBase NT Service and choose either Start or Stop
The ProtoBase NT service controls the ProtoBase application from the PBNTSRVC.INI file located in the c:\pbase\ directory. The pbntsrvc.INI file is a text file and should contain the following entries:
;
;
c:\pbase\pbdirect.exe c:\pbase –q
c:\pbase\pbtsrv.exe ipaddress:4209 120 c:\pbase\polling
STOP c:\pbase\pbgatkil.exe 4209
Once this file has been modified, it must be re-installed. It is always a good idea to uninstall the file before attempting to re-install it.
To un-install the ProtoBase NT Service (from a command line):
C:\pbase>pbntsrvc –remove
To re-install the ProtoBase NT Service (from a command line):
C:\pbase>pbntsrvc -install
The process must be started using the instructions above.
