lja Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 What is the advantage of running MBServer as a service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 The only advantage is if you have a machine that you run headless or that just starts up and never actually logs in as a user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks ebr. Say I am away from home and my server goes down and can be restarted remotely but requires a password. Does this mean that MBserver would run without having to enter the password?

ebr Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 What is the password for? If it is for logging into your user account, then yes, probably. But, be aware that we cannot restart the service via the dashboard right now so updates are more manual with the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take that in the future it is possible that the service may be restarted via the dashboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It proved to be a tricky problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
