The PlanetPress Suite Service Console
The PlanetPress Suite Service Console is a centralized service console and log viewer in one. You can use it to individually start
and stop PlanetPress Suite services, as well as to view current and past log files for each service.
The Service Console has changed greatly since version 7.4. If you are still using an older version of PlanetPress,
please see the user manual for your version instead.
Controlling Services
The left part of the PlanetPress Suite Service Console displays a list of the PlanetPress Suite services and is used to control
these services.
To start a stopped service:
1. Right-click on the service.
2. Click on Start.
3. Look in the Log window on the right to see the service starting.
To stop a service that is running:
1. Right-click on the running service.
2. Click on Stop.
If the service is currently processing a file (if a process is running, output is being generated, job being received, etc),
the service will wait for this action to complete before stopping.
To pause a service temporarily:
1. Right-click on the running service.
2. Click on Active to remove the checkmark.
If the service was currently processing a file, the service will wait for this action to complete before pausing. Once
paused, the service is still "started"but will wait until it is activated again before processing jobs. This is very useful if
you want to receive jobs from external services (such as with the LPDServer)but not process them right away.
To kill (force quit)a service:
1. Right-click on the running service.
2. Click on Kill.
3. Click OKto confirm on the warning.
If the service is currently processing a file, execution will stop and the action will not complete. If the action was par-
tially completed (for example writing a large file), the partial action is not undone. As this may lead to corrupted or
incomplete files, it is strongly advised not to kill a service unless it is absolutely necessary to do so.
