Installing a service from the command line

Robo-FTP may be configured to run as a service by launching the Service Installer program from the command line and specifying the service details as command line parameters.

Command syntax:

SrvInstaller.exe -instnow [ service name ] [ script file path ] [ optional switches ]

The following example creates a service named "Robo-FTP" that runs a script named "C:\Program Files\Robo-FTP 3.7\Script.s" and uses the "-n" command line switch to run with no splash screen. The "-t" command line switch may also be useful in this circumstance.

SrvInstaller.exe -instnow "Robo-FTP" "C:\Program Files\Robo-FTP 3.7\Script.s" "-n"

WARNING: This is an experimental, unsupported feature.  Functionality may change in future versions
