Yes, that was the idea. Here is the example from the svn.
@echo off @if not "%ECHO%" == "" echo %ECHO% @if "%OS%" == "Windows_NT" setlocal
set SERVICE_EXECUTABLE=example.exe
REM Figure out the running mode
@if "%1" == "install" goto cmdInstall @if "%1" == "uninstall" goto cmdUninstall @if "%1" == "start" goto cmdStart @if "%1" == "stop" goto cmdStop @if "%1" == "restart" goto cmdRestart echo Usage goto cmdEnd
:cmdInstall
..\Debug\srvbatch.exe -iwdcl SrvbatchExample "%CD%" "Srvbatch Example Service" "This is an Example service" exservice.bat
goto cmdEnd
:cmdUninstall ..\Debug\srvbatch.exe -u SrvbatchExample goto cmdEnd
:cmdStart %SERVICE_EXECUTABLE% start goto cmdEnd
:cmdStop %SERVICE_EXECUTABLE% stop goto cmdEnd
:cmdRestart %SERVICE_EXECUTABLE% stop %SERVICE_EXECUTABLE% start goto cmdEnd
:cmdEnd
So just set SERVICE_EXECUTABLE to catalina.bat
I like the idea of running a .bat ( or arbitrary .exe ) as a service based on the analogy with the init.d files - but it needs the stop/restart as well.
Well, it's much easier to maintain setups when you have multiple servers. You don't need to edit the registry for runtime params.
OTOH it has overhead of spawning aditional cmd.exe, so this perhaps will be better used as additional package rather then default service runner.
