Running RSC/MP as a Service

The RSC/MP clients for Windows have the ability to run under the control of the

Windows Service Control Manager (SCM) on versions of Windows that contain the

SCM. When configured to run this way, RSC/MP provides two services – Piccolo and

RSC – which must both be running in order for applications to use RSC/MP. In any

place where the RSC/MP product or this product documentation refers to RSC/MP

running “as a service”, this is shorthand for “as the two services registered with the

SCM as Piccolo and RSC.”

When installed as a service, RSC/MP can be started automatically at system boot

time, and started and stopped manually (locally or remotely) through use of the

Services control panel or administrative tool. In order to run as a service, the product

must be installed to a local disk. The service installation can be done during product

installation by answering Yes to the question “Do you want RSC to run as a Service?”

or at a later time using the instructions Installing RSC/MP as a Service on page 4-12. It

is also possible to remove just the RSC/MP services while keeping the RSC/MP

product installed and ready for use in a non-service mode (see Removing the RSC and

Piccolo Services on page 4-12).
