| Summary | 0003239: More than one NT service on same machine. | ||||
| Description | I have several IPs for my server. Using "unreal.exe install" installs only ONE service with a specific name. Doing "unreal.exe install" for another IRCd which runs on same server with a different IP can not be done. So I have to login as console manually and run them with "wircd.exe". A feature to be able to run several IRCds as windows service and also be able to choose name for them would be great and absolutly needed. I can even donate some money to make this happen. I'm not rich, but ask me and I can see if I can afford this. I Do really need this feature. :( Thanks for listening, /regards | ||||

Bump. This can be done in win32/unreal.c with a simple command parameter (replace "UnrealIRCd" with "<param>"). Also win32/service.c, gui.c. |
|
|
Slight problem: config file. This would pretty much require the Win32 builds be compiled with -f enabled. Fortunately, setuid is nonexistant in windows so most likely the potential security problems with -f don't exist. Either that, or we have preprocessing directive support for unrealircd.conf to do things like: #if _SERVICENAME_ == "Server1" include "server1.conf"; #elseif _SERVICE_NAME == "Server2" include "server2.conf"; #else include "default.conf"; #endif (Not that it would be hard to run the file through a C preprocessor, assuming that one is present.) |

Well, don't we already just get the conf from .? I mean, you would run unreal in seperate directories, making this problem non-existing? I mean, it should have a working directory.. If you know how to set it up with specialized commands instead of our specific installer, you can most likely duplicate unreal installs too :P |
|
|
Yeah, if you did it in multiple directories it would work. But doing it out of the same directory (== less disk space needed) you couldn't do it without -f or some other trick. Then again, the same issue is true of linux ircds that want to run one binary for all instances. Though you could avoid copy crap with ntfs hardlinking, but that introduces some other fun (like: if even one instance is running, no instance can be uninstalled because of win32 filelocking wtfs). |
|
|
.. and that you often want to upgrade servers seperately, so it is same reason why you "really shouldn't" use -f :P So, is this something we should implement, since it is obvious it could be useful as we restrict ourselves to one instance of sane NT service-controlled unreal on a win2003 machine else, which kinda defeats the purpose of a multi-user server? |

Yes! I agree, sounds very good actually! :) Thank you. |

Done. My acces to cvs was removed, so I post patch here. I added -n parameter to unreal.exe. So, if you want, you could specify a name of service. It will receive all command. For example: unreal install -n Deimos It will install a service called UnrealIRCd-Deimos. Then, the configfile must be named unrealircd-deimos.conf. This way gave you chance to install more than one service on the same machine using only one installation. unreal start -n Deimos // it will start service with unrealircd-deimos.conf file unreal uninstall -n Deimos Although, -n parameter is optional, so you can use "unreal install" as usual. If you run service from console (double click to wircd.exe for example), it will only start one service, main service, called UnrealIRCd (install without -n). If you only install services with name (-n), double click will start wircd.exe as usual (window mode). -n will affect to all command (install, uninstall, start, stop, etc) Remember to use different listening ports (or interfaces) on every unrealircd-*.conf files. It need to be tested (it is tested only on XP Pro system). Questions? Here. |

Doing yet another archeology stuff. Related commit: https://github.com/unrealircd/unrealircd/commit/a212fe9347e10c176ee90652896567bf09274a0a |

I wonder if anyone would really need this in practice. I'm closing it until we get XYZ requests, which probably will be never. |
