MANUAL INSTALLATION OF RUSH SERVICE
-----------------------------------
*********************************************************
These instructions are obsolete.
Please refer to the more up to date instructions.
*********************************************************
What follows are the instructions for using SRVANY.EXE and
INSTSRV.EXE to setup rushd as a service. It is assumed you
have the NT resource kit installed.
These are basically rush specific steps based on the
SRVANY documentation.
Be sure to type data in carefully; you know how scary the
registry can be.
1) Login as administrator, invoke a DOS shell, and run:
INSTSRV rushd C:\RUSH\BIN\SRVANY.EXE
2) Invoke the registry editor, eg:
REGEDT32
3) In the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE window, descend into the
following hierarchy:
System
|
--> CurrentControlSet
|
--> Services
|
|--> rushd
4) With 'rushd' highlighted, in the regedit menu bar, invoke:
Edit -> Add Key
.. and in the window, type:
Parameters
This should create a new 'key' in the 'rushd' hierarchy.
5) Click on "Parameters" to highlight it, then in the regedit
menu bar, invoke:
Edit -> Add Value
.. and in the window, type:
Application
.. and hit Return. In the "String Editor" window, type:
C:\RUSH\BIN\RUSHD.EXE
You should now be able to go into the control panel's Services,
and start the rushd service, eg:
Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Services -> rushd
.. and click Start. The file C:\RUSH\VAR\RUSH.LOG will start
growing with output from the daemon. Monitor this file for
daemon error messages.
To verify the daemon is running, type at a DOS prompt:
rush -ping
..you should see a response, such as:
mymachine: RUSHD 101.70 PID=67 Boot=05/23/00,13:45:32 Online, 0 jobs, 0 procs
NOTE: Supposedly you can distribute the REGEDT32 changes you've
made to other machines easily. See your system documentation on
REGEDT32 for more info.
