MNCDS & FireDaemon

Has anyone successfully setup MNCDS with FireDaemon Pro yet?
MNCDS works fine when launched directly via the batch files but won't even attempt to start with FireDaemon.

not completely, I just chain my through batch files, though MNC executables will not shutdown, fd will only kill the hidden batch file window.

Id wager problem is both that multiple servers reference the same executable and the syntax for passing arguments and parameters to the executable.

You could try using a utility that can kill app's by their titles:
make and configure a "service" (pointing to a batch file) for each mnc server you have, that kills the mncds window via the utility.

Then INSIDE each FD MNCDS service, in "edit service definition"->Pre / Post Service -> Add the correlating service that kills this MNCDS under "Post-Service Programs". Should do it; maybe even add it under Pre too. That way it ensure's servers not already running.

Either way, your going to have to get crafty.


If you are really deadset on getting native FD support:
Id wager the problem is that FD is not passing the parameters to mnc.exe correctly, so mnc is crashing. To trouble shoot this, you need to figure out just what the exact command line that FD is passing, make a batch file that echo's w/e is passed to it. Then make a FD service for this, and in parameters: put all your MNCds parameters. Compare the output from this, to the syntax of the batch file. I bet its something stupid like a space or quotes that FD is automatically putting in.

If FD is screwing it up and its not something you can correct, check your FD version, see if maybe theres a newer FD version that supports overriding the command line.

Otherwise, your back to getting crafty.
