Configuring JBoss ON as a Windows Service
The rhq-server.bat script has an installation option that installs the script as a Windows service.1) Set the environment variable to run the Windows service as.
Every Windows service has to run as some system user. There are two environment variables in the rhq-server.bat script that set the user to use:
RHQ_SERVER_RUN_AS sets any Windows user to be the JBoss ON server user. The username given here must be in the standard Windows format, DOMAIN\user, such as EXAMPLEDOMAIN\janderson.
RHQ_SERVER_RUN_AS_ME sets the server to run as whoever the current user is. This overrides the RHQ_SERVER_RUN_AS, if both as set.
If neither environment variable is set, then the JBoss ON server runs as the system account.
Run the rhq-server.bat script with the install option to set up the service. This prompts for the password of whatever user account is used for the JBoss ON service.
