Introduction

The LanScape Service Manager® suite is a software "package" that allows you to execute all LanScape VOIP server software and just about any other Windows 32 bit GUI or console application, batch file or script as a native Windows NT service or as a Windows 2000,XP,2003 service. This has many advantages over simply developing and running your server software as a native service or as a standard Windows application process.

Just about any Windows application can be executed on the server host machine as an NT service or a Windows service. Batch files, script files, Windows console applications and a large number of GUI applications can successfully be executed as a service.

If you are developing your application to be used with the LanScape Service Manager®, then you have full control over your application and can take steps to "design in" the necessary functionality that will allow your application to be 100% compatible with running as a service. There are only a few minor guidelines you must follow to make sure your applications are able to be started as a child process of the service manager and stopped gracefully when the host system gets shut down.

The primary advantage of running your Windows applications as a service is that the application will be started when the host machine is started. It does not matter if a user logs into the server machine or not. The application will also automatically shutdown gracefully when the server host machine shuts down.

There are many other advantages of running server software as a service. When you run your server software as a service, your server software can be monitored for execution faults and can be restarted if required. Deploying server software as a service will assist you in deploying a "high availability" system that will experience minimal down time as compared to server products from other vendors.
