Title: Running the latest version as a service
Post by: jsavoor on August 06, 2018, 01:18:24 PM
Hi

New to HFS and see it is a wonderful product. Does everything I need except that I cannot seem to run it as a service.
The manual asks me to extract the zip and run the HFS2SERVICE.EXE but this does not exist in the download.
There is only HFS.EXE.

Could someone please assist in this?

Thanks

Jay

I detaulted the best I could. It's not natively support...

You have to use other apps/tools to make it a service.

And have hfs pre setup(no changes) to run from it's vfs/ini

.... Not familiar with that exe. Look I. The post above...

Hi! :) As described here (http://www.rejetto.com/wiki/index.php/Refinements#Running_HFS_as_a_Windows_service), you can download HFS2SERVICE.EXE from here (http://www.rejetto.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=4713.0;attach=1097) (more info here (http://rejetto.com/forum/index.php?topic=4713.0)) (https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=es&tl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=rejetto.com%2Fforum%2Findex.php%3Ftopic%3D11745.msg1061766%23msg1061766&hl=en). You will find also more alternatives, here (http://ethertubes.com/make-a-program-run-as-a-windows-service-on-boot/) (SRVANY-NG (https://github.com/birkett/srvany-ng) and NSSM (http://nssm.cc/), both great alternatives to run HFS as a service).

@bmartino1 and anyone interested: I'm sorry, I still didn't have enough time to work on any of those (http://rejetto.com/forum/index.php?topic=12059.0) templates (http://rejetto.com/forum/index.php?topic=12122.0) (I'll try to make time to do it as soon as I get some free time off, but don't hold your breath).
