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.

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

/sbin/service appweb start

On a Debian (Ubuntu) based system, run the following commands

/sbin/invoke-rc.d appweb start
/sbin/invoke-rc.d appweb stop

Removing Appweb as a Daemon

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