Working as a service

I have installed my first jabber server and using ejabberd was a dodle once I discovered the web interface.
It runs in SBS 2K3 at present I have left myself logged in to the console.
If I log out will the jabber server still run

AFAIR, the new(er) Windows

AFAIR, the new(er) Windows installers do not yet support installing ejabberd as a service. You can use an older ejabberd version, you can build ejabberd yourself using the instructions in the Guide, or you can wait until support is added again (I guess this is on Process-One's TODO list).

Re: ejabberd1.1.2 as Windows Service

You can use erlsrv in your ejabberd1.1.2/bin directory to add ejabberd as a Windows Service. See this post by Peterzt.

I've missed ' chars on strings, so working version is:

erlsrv add ejabberd -env ERL_MAX_PORT=32000 -env EJABBERD_MSGS_PATH="../lib/ejabberd-1.1.2/priv/msgs/" -env EJABBERD_CONFIG_PATH="../conf/ejabberd.cfg" -env EJABBERD_SO_PATH="../lib/ejabberd-1.1.2/priv/lib/windows/" -env EJABBERD_LOG_PATH="../logs/ejabberd.log" -w "E:\Program Files\ejabberd-1.1.2\bin" -sname ejabberd@localhost -args "-kernel inetrc '\"../conf/inetrc.win\"' -mnesia dir '\"../database/ejabberd\"' -sasl sasl_error_logger {file,'\"../logs/sasl.log\"'} -setcookie ejabberd -s ejabberd"

erlsrv has very usefull -debugtype parameter which helped me.
