Configuring Services in InetD

 

 

Each service monitored by InetD is defined with the Configure Service dialog.

Service Properties:

          Enabled           Turn on to have InetD monitor this service

          Service            Name of the application

           Application           The application to be launched, including full path

           Arguments  Any command-line arguments

 

Network Properties:

          TCP/IP Port   Specify the TCP/IP port that the application uses. This number must be unique to this service. If another InetD service is monitoring this port, the user will be notified to change the port number.

          Protocol             Specify either TCP or UPD

          Type                 console - programs designed to run in a console

                              stream - programs which require direct input/output

                              gui - programs which open a separate window or dialog

Service Logon:

All applications configured to use InetD inherit, by default, the InetD service's permissions and security. To run an application with different security and permissions than that of InetD, specify a User Name, Password, and Domain of the account under which to run the configured application. The user account must have the "Logon as Service" access right for this to work.

Serial Options:

This button is no longer used with the InetD service.
