Registering the Service
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Note that all commands on this page must be ran in an *admin console*
|
|
(right-click on ``cmd.exe``, run as administrator).
|
|
|
|
At minimum you must register the service in order to use it. Here is
|
|
the most basic command you can use for that::
|
|
|
|
rattail filemon install
|
|
|
|
However you will most likely want the service startup set to
|
|
"automatic" - and you may also need to set it to run as a particular
|
|
user account (see :doc:`/base/install/windows/user`).
|
|
|
|
You can take care of all that at once with the command::
|
|
|
|
rattail filemon install --auto-start --username rattail
|
|
|
|
This will register the service (so it's visible in Windows Services)
|
|
and set it to automatic startup and to run as ``rattail`` user.
|
|
|
|
(If the command fails then please be sure you are running an *admin
|
|
console*.)
|
|
|
|
Note that the service will *not* have been started yet. Before you
|
|
can do that though you will need to configure it; see
|
|
:doc:`config/index` if you've not already done that.

Unregistering the Service
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
To *unregister* the filemon service, you can do (again, in an *admin
|
|
console*):
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
|
|
|
rattail filemon remove
|
|
|
|
Note that if you have the Windows Services snap-in open, or possibly
|
|
one of a few other things, the service may not truly be removed until
|
|
you close those things. For more info see this `Stack Overflow
|
|
post`_.

|
|
|
|
You can close, then re-open Windows Servies snap-in to see if it has
|
|
been truly removed from that list.
