Running as a System Service or Daemon

After installation, AppWeb is normally started automatically as a system service or system daemon by default. You can change this behavior and only start AppWeb manually if you wish.

This page gives information about starting and stopping AppWeb as a system service. Before you can run AppWeb as a service, you must first stop any running instance of AppWeb. See Starting and Stopping AppWeb for how to stop AppWeb if it is running manually.

Controlling AppWeb as a Windows Service

Starting and Stopping AppWeb as a Service

To start or stop AppWeb as a service, use the Windows services control applet. To invoke the applet, right click on My Computer and select Manage. Then click on Services and Applications in the left-hand pane. Select Services underneath and then scroll in the right pane to find Mbedthis AppWeb. Double click on this and select Start, Stop, Pause or Resume as required.

NOTE: If you reboot your system, AppWeb will still be automatically started by the Windows Service Manager unless you change the Startup Type to be manual.

Removing AppWeb as a Service

To permanently stop AppWeb running as a Windows Service, run the following command:

appWeb -u

To reinstall AppWeb to run as a Windows Service, run the following command:

appWeb -i "none"

You may replace "none" other appWeb command options inside quotes. These options will take effect when Windows starts AppWeb after a system reboot.

You will still need to start the service via the Services control applet once AppWeb is reinstalled as a service.

Controlling AppWeb as a Linux Daemon

On Linux and Unix, system services are called Daemons.

Stopping AppWeb as a Daemon

To stop AppWeb running as a Daemon, run the following command:

/sbin/service appWeb stop

To re-start AppWeb to run as a daemon, run the following command:

/sbin/service appWeb start

Removing AppWeb as a Daemon

To permanently remove AppWeb from running as a Daemon, run the following command:

/sbin/chkconfig --del appWeb

To reinstall AppWeb to run as a daemon, run the following command:

/sbin/chkconfig --add appWeb
/sbin/chkconfig --level 5 appWeb on
/sbin/service appWeb start
