Run a connector as a service on Windows

When you run a connector as a service, you do not need to run it manually. The connector
runs when the host server starts up, and shuts down when the host is shut down. Before
running the connector as a service, register it, as described in the following section

Register the connector as a service

You register the connector as a service by running the prunsrv command, as shown in
the following procedure. Take note that you can increase the power of the prunsrv
command by adding optional parameters. For example, you can specify logging for the
Apache daemon by using the LogPath parameter. For detailed information , see
