Running K-PACS as a service

snalbansed · Sep 27th 2005

I need to be able to send images from different imaging modalities back to my office so that I can do the analysis. K-PACS seems to be just the job.

However, it only runs if someone logs in and starts K-PACS. It would be great if it could run as a service so that no-one needs to be logged in for it to work. By definition, if I am at the CT scanner or what ever, I am not in my office, and can't therefore log in! I would like not to have to leave the computer logged in as me all the time too, so that my colleagues can access it.

Have you any ideas on how I could resolve this one?

Thanks,
Ed McDonagh

Hello Ed,

true NTservice support is not implemented yet, but what you can do is:
create a link to the file "kpsautostart" in the K-PACS-Server folder and copy that link to Start -> All Programs -> StartUp
(\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup)
or make an entry for kpsautostart in then registry
(HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run)

hope I could help,
Andreas

Thanks Andreas

The first way still requires someone to be logged on. Is this true for the second method you suggested?

There is a nice application called SRVANY that can be run as NT-Service and takes a user definable program as parameter (in our case KPSautostart.exe)
have a look: http://www.iopus.com/guides/srvany.htm

Tell me if you succeed,

regards,
Andreas

Thanks Andreas.

I didn't notice your reply in this forum until today - after I saw that you have implimented running as an NT- service in the new version.

I have installed 0.9.5, and the NT-service feature seems to be working!

Thanks for adding this feature, it makes the program much more useful for me
