Automatically starting the XMS Service
The Xmedia Server Control Panel provides you with two (2) settings to that enable the
system to automatically start or restart the XMS service without user interaction.
When the L AUNCH SERVICE AT SYSTEM STARTUP setting is enabled on the S ERVICE C ONTROL
page, the XMS service is automatically started each time the Xmedia Server is powered up.
We recommend that this setting remain enabled to avoid having to manually start the
service each time you start the Xmedia Server.
Similarly, when the R ESTART SERVICE AFTER FAILURE setting is enabled on the S ERVICE
C ONTROL page, the XMS service is automatically started when the service is accidentally
stopped due to a failure with some other part of the system. We recommend that you enable
this setting to avoid having to manually start the service each time another part of the
system triggers a failure and stops the service.
