Can the Domino server controller be started as a Windows NT service?

Technote Number: 1201781


Problem:
This issue was reported to Quality Engineering as SPR# KVLN5SEF6H and has been
addressed in Domino 6.5.4 and 6.0.5.

Excerpt from the Lotus Notes and Domino Release 6.5.4 and 6.0.5 MR fix list
(available at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/):

NT Integration
SPR# KVLN5SEF6H - The server controller can now be started as an NT service.

From the IBM Lotus Notes. Domino, Domino Designer 7 Release Notes:

Specify the Server Controller as an NT service at installation
If you wish to change the parameters of the Server controller, you can then use
the SC tool (Sc.exe) included in the Resource Kit. See Microsoft Knowledge Base
Article - Q251192 at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q251192
To add the -jc to a standalone server installed as a service you would do:
sc config "Lotus Domino Server (lotusdominodata)" binPath=
"c:\lotus\domino\nservice.exe
=c:\lotus\domino\notes.ini -jc"
This is of the form: sc <server> [command] [service name] <option1> <option2> .
. .

Prior to release 6.5.4/6.0.5, it was not possible to pass any parameters to
nservice and, as a result, the Server Controller could not be started as a
service. Example:
run /domino/nservice -jc -c as a service => Domino does not load
It is possible to start Domino as a service by specifying nservice to start at
boot.
example: run /domino/nservice as a service => server runs in the background and
you are able to log out of the account.
It is possible to start the Domino as an application by running nserver.
Furthermore it is possible to add arguments to nserver, (ex. the server
controller etc. "nserver -jc -c")
It is not possible to pass on any parameters to nservice and customer needs to
use nserver if any parameters are needed. It is possible to start nserver as a
service but when you log on you get the server controller console on the
desktop and if you log out of the account the server dies.

example: run /domino/nserver as a service => Domino loads but stays on the
desktop/foreground and you are not able to log out.
