[Opensim-users] OpenSim and Windows 2008 RC

[Gary Banham]

I've been running windows 7 as an operating system has the task scheduler as
part of the operating system and windows 2008 server has as well

I use the scheduler to start my robust and opensim servers after updates or
a power failure

It can be set up to start or restart through a batch file and the timing of
the starts can be programmed into the task

I found this a lot easier than trying to set opensim up as a service and it
has worked flawlessly since I set it up

The scheduler can be used to invoke a cron instance if needed

Hope this can help

We recently purchased a new core server for our grid and decided to give
Windows 2008 RC a try. We haven't set anything up yet we were wanting to get
the best info so far. We have seen some pretty good reviews from people who
ran Win 08 RC but I was wondering if you all could help us out with some
issues:

1) Is there a windows Alternative to Monit that will restart an OpenSim
Instance if it goes down? ( I think Watchdog might but I am not sure)
2) What ways is used to get OpenSim to run as a windows service so when we
close out of the GUI it is still running? And can this be done if the remote
desktop has multiple accounts?
3) What antivirus software (free or at least a decent price) would you guys
recommend to help keep the server safe?
