Hi,

I want to create a windows service that simulates the command below:

"java -server -Xms128M -Xmx256m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:+UseAdaptiveSizePolicy -classpath ..\config\;..\lib\activation.jar;.........TaskControllerService"

How do I achieve it?

Regards,
Anju

I don't understand what you mean with "windows service". However, you can run shell commands with parameters by using the "System.Diagnostic" class. Take a look at this.

Windows Service is something that you see when you open services.msc ...
TaskControllerService is .bat file that calls an exe .
"-Xms128M -Xmx256m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+UseParallelGC" -> parameters for setting heap size etc.

"-classpath ..\config\;..\lib\activation.jar;..\lib\ant-1.5.3.jar;..\lib\ant-optional-1.5.3.jar;..\lib\bcel.jar;..\lib\c3p0-0.9.1.2.ja" ---> the classpath that specifies the necessary jars required to call the .exe. ..

I tried this command :
sc create taskcontroller binPath= "D:\GvtTrunk\Server\deploy
\bin\TaskControllerService64.bat" ---> this is a utility for creating a windows service .The service got created successfully. But, on starting it, it threw some .net framework related error ...

I wonder if there are any simpler methods other than the one I found here ...http://stackoverflow.com/questions/569606/how-can-i-make-service-apps-with-visual-c-sharp-express..
