Install as service on Windows

[morbificagent]

Hi there,

I am trying mistserver on win at the moment.
Runns good but I have to login to windows and then manually start mistserver...

Is there a way to install this as service or even to configure it to autostart?

Many thanks

Hey Morbificagent, Unfortunately the current Windows version of MistServer (2.18) doesn't have a "good" method of making it a service. You could do something with a custom service maker like nssm (https://nssm.cc/ ). We do plan to make a more proper method in 3.0, but we're a bit off for that version. The plan is to first get MacOS versions working then Windows as 3.0 makes a few changes to shared memory that make it a tad harder to adapt to the way Windows uses shared memory. With kind regards, Balder Viëtor Head of Testing

I eventually achieved this by setting up the Task Scheduler action "Start a program":
Program/script: "C:\Program Files\MistServer\MistController.exe"
Add arguments: -c "C:\path\to\your\config.json

I do hope MistServer 3 gets released for Windows soon though!
