Directory Server System Requirements
Installing the Directory Server
Configuring the JVM, Java Options, and Database Cache
Upgrading the Directory Server
Starting and Stopping the Directory Server
Use the windows-service command to enable or disable the directory server as a Windows service. For more information, see windows-service in Sun OpenDS Standard Edition 2.0 Command-Line Usage Guide.
C:\> windows-service -e
C:\> windows-service -d
If the system is heavily loaded when it boots, the process that starts the directory server might time out while waiting for the server to start. By default, the server attempts to start 100 times, with an interval of 5 seconds between attempts.
You can configure the number of attempts that the server makes to start by setting the value of the OPENDS_WINDOWS_SERVICE_START_NTRIES system environment variable.
