Information on Using the NT Service

If you are running Windows NT Client or Server you may choose to utilize the
available TechScheduler NT Service. The service DOES NOT work on Windows 95!

All Job types except "Glue-it!" and "Keystroke Emulation" work from the
service.

The TechScheduler NT Service allows the TechScheduler engine to run within
the secure server layer. This will allow you to schedule jobs to occur
without you having to logon to Windows NT.

The supplied service: TKSHDSVC.EXE should be located in a directory that
will always be available to the OS. Do not put it in the root or temporary
directories. Select either the TechScheduler or the Windows\System directory.

Follow these steps to install and activate the TechScheduler NT Service:

1. From a DOS prompt change directories to where the service is located.

2. install it. Type "tkshdsvc -install"

3. From Windows Control Panel invoke the SERVICES icon.

4. TechScheduler will appear on the list of services. Choose startup
   options: "Manual" or "Automatic" and tell it to interact with the
   desktop. You may need to set up a specific NT user account
   for TechScheduler or use the Administrator context.

5. Start the service by clicking on the "Start" button.

Follow these steps to uninstall the TechScheduler NT Service:

1. From Windows Control Panel invoke the SERVICES icon.

2. Stop the service by clicking on the "Stop" button.

3. If you have TechScheduler set to start automatically, change this setting
   to "Manual"

4. Go to the directory where the TechScheduler NT Service resides.

5. Type: "tkshdsvc -remove"

6. Delete the file.

Warning: If you delete the tkshdsvc.exe file before doing step 5 above then
your OS will flail helplessly trying to load and invoke the service!
