Automatic Startup Techniques
The xTuple Connect Batch Manager should be left to run
continuously—like a service. However, the xTuple Connect Batch Manager is
not a service. It is a graphical application—and so you will need to
employ various techniques to ensure the xTuple Connect Batch Manager keeps
running continuously. In other words, if the computer the xTuple Connect
Batch Manager is running on goes down, the xTuple Connect Batch Manager
must also be restarted when the computer is brought back up again.
In this section we explore some of the techniques you might use to
avoid having to restart the xTuple Connect Batch Manager manually whenever
the computer it is running on is restarted. Please do not consider the
suggestions offered here as complete solutions. Certain issues, such as
security, are not taken into account.
Tip
In the previous section we learned how to pass arguments to the
xTuple Connect Batch Manager client at runtime. These arguments can also
be used in a startup script that executes when a computer reboots and a
user is logged on.
