Creating a Windows Service for RLM Server

Here’s a step by step guide on how to configure your process to run as a native Windows Service, which ensures your launching automatically, running persistently in the background, and logging outputs cleanly.

Steps

1. Download an Admin bundle from our website
2. Run the installer
3. (Optional) Specify the RLM install location
4. Open a command prompt (CMD) or PowerShell terminal
5. Change Directories to the location where RLM was extracted in step #3. For example:cd C:\Users[username]\Documents\Reprise\rlm.v18.0BL1-x64_w4.admin
6. Determine which flags you will want to start RLM with. A full list of flags can be found in our documentation.
7. Enter your command.
   1. Start with rlm
   2. Include install_service
   3. -service_name
   4. -dlog
   5. Any other flags from step #6 Example:rlm -install_service ‑service_name example-rlm-service ‑dlog my-debug-log.log
8. RLM should now be configured to run as a service automatically. You can verify this by checking the services application on Windows:
   1. In the start menu, type services, and click the services application from the search results
   2. Find your service in the list of services. This will be what you named the service in step #7.
