Options
A service specifies the name of a program, routine, or process that performs a specific system function to support other programs, particularly at a low level (close to the hardware). Servicename specifies the name given to the service key in the registry. Note that service key name may differ-and in most cases does differ-from the service display name.
The options described below are case-insensitive.
|
start
|
Starts a Pervasive PSQL service running
|
|
stop
|
Terminates the running of a Pervasive PSQL service
|
|
restart
|
Terminates the running of a Pervasive PSQL service then starts the service running again
|
|
query
|
Specifies whether servicename is running or not
|
|
create
|
Creates a new servicename given the following syntax:
create "servicename" "servicedisplayname" servicetype startmode "path" [ numdependencies dependencieslist ]
where:
servicedisplayname = the name of the service that you want to display in Service Manager and utilities like PCC
servicetype = < own | shared >
own specifies that the service runs in its own process
shared specifies that the service runs inside a process shared with other services
startmode = < auto | demand >
path = the fully qualified path of the binary executable associated with the service and any parameters that must be passed to the executable
numdependencies = the number of other programs, routines, or processes upon which the service depends
dependencieslist = the list of other programs, routines, or processes upon which the service depends

Examples
To create a service for the Workgroup Engine that starts automatically when the operating system starts:
psc create "psqlWGE" "Pervasive PSQL Workgroup Engine"
own auto "file_path\PSQL\bin\w3dbsmgr.exe service
srde"
To start the Workgroup Engine service manually:
To create a service for the Cache Engine that starts automatically when the operating system starts:
psc create "psqlCE" "Pervasive PSQL Cache Engine" own
auto "file_path\PSQL\bin\w3dbsmgr.exe service btrv"
To start the Cache Engine service manually:
