Automatic startup of PVSS projects at boot time as a Windows Service

Configuration of Service + on control PC

To have PVSS projects started at boot time under Windows, please send a mail to Online Helpdesk: lbonsupp@cernNOSPAMPLEASE.ch with the following information :

• Name of the computer where the project[s] will run on
• Name of the project[s]
• Name of the Windows service ( usually the PVSS project name seems to be the best choice...) and a description for the service ( ie: Muon High Voltage side A)
• If project config file is not in L:\localdisk\pvss\< PROJECT NAME >\config, provide its location ( but it should not be different if you follow the LHCb ECS Integration Guideline https://edms.cern.ch/file/732486/3/LHCb_ECS_Guidelines.pdf )

All projects should have manual startup for all UIs.

Starting the Project as a Windows service

When the configuration of the service is fully tested, the Project service is defined as an automatic service started at boot time, and only PVSS UI needs to be manually attached to the project. Anyway it coult be possible to stop and start the service with:

• Windows services standard UI ( launch services.msc )
• Service + UI
• From the command line: > net start [stop] "Service Name"
