Running as a Windows Service
-
I've added a PowerShell script in the tools subdirectory of the latest Reactor build that, with a tailwind, will allow you Windows 10 users to install and run Reactor as a Windows service.
The script is called
install_reactor_windows_service.js
Procedure is here (and also documented in the script header).

Hi @toggledbits, I just downloaded the latest version, and I can't find the script in the tolls directory.
-
It's there. What version did you download, exactly.
-
That's not the latest build. That's the last release build. Go to the latest subdirectory on the server for the actual latest.

Oops my mistake, sorry!
Now I have a question, I had already created a routine in the Task Scheduler to start the MSR running (node app.js ) on Windows startup. When I had to update it, it stopped running the task scheduler, do the update, and start the task again.
And now, how do I stop the MSR? What is the task in Task Manager? I can't find anything with the name MSR or anything like it.

You use the Services control panel to stop/start/restart the service (or restart using the Restart Reactor button in the Tools area of the Reactor UI).
I use Win+X > Run and type "services" to bring up the Services control panel when I need it. Task manager also works.
