Install Nodel as a Windows service

Later release packages include a batch script (install_as_service.bat) to install the Windows service wrapper for Nodel.

To use it, see service folder within the latest Nodel release package - see releases.

Example usage:

• Download ZIP package and extract into desired folder, e.g. C:\NodelHost
• C:\NodelHost should contain:
  • service folder
  • nodelhost-___-revXYZ.jar file
• launch install_as_service.bat from the service folder and follow steps on screen
• browse http://localhost:8085

Manual registration:

• Execute the following line:

MyXYZnodelsvc.exe //IS --DisplayName "MyXYZ Nodel" --Startup auto --StartMode jvm --StartClass org.nodel.nodelhost.Service --StartMethod start --StopMode jvm --StopClass org.nodel.nodelhost.Service --StopMethod stop --Classpath C:\MyXYZnodel\nodel.jar

• For 64-bit systems running Java 7 or below add this flag --JvmOptions=-XX:MaxPermSize=1024M
