The Service Menu contains the following options:



Option

Purpose

New

Creates a new FireDaemon service.

Edit

Edits an existing FireDaemon or built-in service.

Uninstall

Uninstalls an existing service.

Clone

Clones (duplicates) the settings of the currently selected FireDaemon service and opens the New Service dialog. See Note below.

Clone Hot

Clones (duplicates) and installs the settings of the currently selected FireDaemon service renaming accordingly. The service will be automatically started if the original service's Start-Up Mode is set to Automatic or Automatic (Delayed Start). Note: that if a service is configured to run with a user account then when the service is Cloned or Hot Cloned then the service will be left in a stopped state and will not run until the user account password has been entered in the Settings tab. This is a limitation as a result of the Service Control Manager retaining a one way encrypted password (ie. the password can be set but can never be read).

Start

Starts a stopped service.

Stop

Stops a running service.

Restart

Restarts a running service.

Start (in session)

[Vista, 2008, 7 only] Starts a stopped service in the currently logged on session to temporarily defeat session 0 isolation. Services running in session will be killed and restarted on session 0 upon log off. Start (in session) only works for accounts running as LocalSystem.

Restart (in session)

[Vista, 2008, 7 only] Restarts a running service in the currently logged on session to temporarily defeat session 0 isolation. Services running in session will be killed and restarted on session 0 upon log off. Restart (in session) only works for accounts running as LocalSystem.

Bring To Front

Brings the window of the application to the foreground on the desktop. On Vista, 2008, 7 and 2008 R2 this will only work when the FireDaemon Pro GUI is run on Session 0 along side the applications being run by FireDaemon Pro or if the applications are already running in the current logon session by virtue of being started or restarted "in session".

Start All

Starts all installed FireDaemon services.

Stop All

Stops all installed FireDaemon services.

Restart All

Stops then starts all installed FireDaemon services.

Import

Import a FireDaemon XML Service Definition.

Export

Export All

Uninstall All

NB. Removing a non-FireDaemon service is seriously not recommended. The functionality of your machine may be seriously compromised as a result depending on the service removed.
