Rules Service Recovery

You can configure the Rules Service for automatic recovery on Windows XP and on Unix platforms:

On the Windows XP operating system, an automatic restart can be arranged through the Services Manager:

1.	In the Microsoft Services Manager, open the properties of the Rules Service.

2.	Click the Recovery tab page.

3.	Define the required action on failure, for example: restart service.

On Unix platforms, the following sample script can be used to restart the Rules Service automatically:

#!/bin/sh

unset closing_time

trap1()

{

closing_time=now

}

# catch signals

trap trap1 1 2 3 6 9 12 13 14 15 16 17 22 28 29

while [ -z "${closing_time}" ]; do

echo "Starting RulesService $@"

./RulesService $@ &

pid=$!

wait ${pid}

done

echo "Closing down"

echo "Stopping RulesService ${pid}"

kill ${pid}

On Unix, the init process control program can be used to (re)start the Rules Service in the case of a reboot of Unix. See the Unix documentation for more information on the init process control program.
