Introduction

The GMSL Service controls all of the EuroRunner background processes, such as the ISIS Poller, and File Services, generally these are used for processing incoming notices.

Technical

GMSLService.exe is a service component running under Windows NT Services, it identifies when processes should be started using values stored in the registry (see the GMSL Service section of the Registry documentation).

It uses the GMSLServiceAsync.exe to initiate other processes; this allows each process to run asynchronously and independently from any other process and from the service itself.

Configuration

The GMSL Service is automatically set-up (with default values), installed as a service to run under the entered user (default is EuroRunnerUser) and started as part of the server installation.

If you need to stop/start or change the settings for the GMSL Service, this can be done using the standard Services configuration tool in Windows Control Panel.

The service also supports configuration by command line arguments:

	gmslservice			[[-install username password [-auto] [-start]] | [-start] | [-stop] | [-uninstall]] [-silent]
		-install		Install to run as a service
		username		User the installed service should run under, assumed to be a local user if no domain specified
		password		Password for username
		-auto		Set the installed service to start automatically
		-start		Start the service, can be used independently or in conjunction with -install to start the service after installation
		-stop		Stop the service
		-uninstall		Uninstall the service (will automatically perform a -stop first if the service is running)
		-silent		Do not display any messages
