I'm currently performing a task which requires the use of Apache Tomcat.
When starting up Apache automatically through a windows service, the task fails.
However when I right click command prompt, and select 'Run as Administrator' and start Apache using a bat file, the tasks completes successfully.
This leads me to believe the tomcat service needs to be configured to run as admin.
Could you guide me on how to do this?
Try running the service under a local systems account.

Setup:
test framework around latest WebdriverIO v.7
Jenkins on GCP: master - Ubuntu, slave - Windows Server 2022 VM.
connection between Jenkins master and slave is done with GCP jenkins plugin, so Windows slave is being created for test and then dies.
app under test: Electron v14.2.1 based app.
Test - "User can start screenshare"
User start a call.
User select an available screen and start a screenshare.
Problem:
Electron library can not detect available screen for capturing and sreensharing, because there is no RDP connection opened in test session.
In test logs no sources (screen) found:
2022-08-01 07:40:20:409 -00:00 | info | main-api-handler: - open-screen-picker-window - Properties: {
"cmd": "open-screen-picker-window",
"id": 1,
"sources": []
}
Questions:
How can the screen be emulated?
Where the RDP should be established? Should it?
Are there other way than RDP to provide the screen for the Electron app?
The problem was solved by my colleague:
"So the root cause of this issue is that the SSH server which Jenkins uses to configure the node runs as a service, and that means it has problems interacting with desktop apps. Unfortunately, Windows' own SSH server only runs as a service. More explanations here: Starting GUI programs via OpenSSH on Windows?
To resolve this, I installed a separate SSH server (OpenSSH from MSYS2). The machine image is configured to autologin on boot, and sshd is started on logon as the currently logged in user. This gives it access to the desktop, and screenshare tests now seem to work better"
I am new to Jenkins and currently I have to test machine Test1 and Test2 on the test machines , I run ranorex automation tests , every thing works fine until i start getting the issue and that is when I restart my remote desktop(Test1 machine) and remote desktop(Test2 machine) both machine does not comes online on jenkins dashboard and appears as offline , then when I manually start both machine then on dashboard they both came online and my test execution works , previously i tried to use jenkins as service which some how block my automation test execution and error comes "The system needs to be interactive" , so I disabled jenkins service for Windows Service which solves my "The system needs to be interactive" error but I landed with this issue , whenever I perform restart my both test machines went offline
Any help in this regards
Thanks
You can use a schedule task with the 'On Startup' trigger, this is how I'm doing it and it works well.
We are encountering a problem running the MobileFirst Enterprise Server on Windows Server 2012 R2. When we start using a batch file as Administrator, as long as we stay remote connected the server is working OK, we see the Runtime Environments. But when we log out, server is unreachable. We created a Windows Service that starts the server with same command:
*sc create WASLibertyV85 binPath= "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Liberty\bin\server.bat start worklight" DisplayName="IBM WebSphere Liberty V8.5 Worklight" start=auto*
But the Runtime is not displayed, we only see:
No runtime environment deployed in this server.
Is there a way to enable MobileFirst Server seeing the Runtime Environments when was started as service?
Here's our complete solution:
1. Start CMD as administrator and run this:
sc create WASLibertyV85 binPath= "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Liberty\bin\server.bat start worklight" DisplayName="IBM WebSphere Liberty V8.5 Worklight" start=delayed-auto
2. under Services.msc open the properties of the „IBM WebSphere Liberty V8.5 Worklight“ service and set this (if not already):
Tab GENERAL -> Startup type: Automatic (Delayed Start)
Tab LOG ON -> Log on as: Local System account + Allow service to interact with desktop
++ When the server restarts, it can take up to 2 minutes, until the runtimes are displayed in the Worklight Console!++
MFP is not being run as a service. MFP is simply a web app (a .war file, a .jar file and some artifacts) running on-top of WebSphere Liberty, in your case. So all of this is related only to Liberty and not to MFP.
As long as the Liberty instance is launched correctly, it should handle everything on its own, including the web apps that are deployed to it, MFP being one of them.
You could perhaps follow the instructions provided in this forum topic explaining how to use Apache Commons Daemon to run Liberty as a Windows service. There are other tools that can do this as well.
The problem was cause by starting the service with a log on account set as current windows user. When we've chaged to Local System Account and enabled Allow system to interact with desktop, the Runtime became visible on MobileFirst Server.
I will shortly try to explain what I am trying to do here. I need to periodically check the response time of the my site by logging into the system and noting the time to load the welcome page.
I am doing this using Selenium WebDriver and Java. I am currently checking the response time using the org.apache.commons.lang3.time.StopWatch which start when user hits the login button and stops when welcome page renders completely. I check weather this response time is above threshold level and send mail to admin alerting him in case of slow response of system.
Currently, I have created the executable jar file which opens the web browser using Selenium WebDriver and check the response time. I have also created the job in Jenkins using DOS commands which runs periodically using cron schedular. This I'm doing in my Windows 7 pc and I have Jenkins installed on my localhost. The scheduled job builds on Jenkins periodically but I can't see any activity like opening the web browser and the further task explained above. It runs perfectly when I use windows scheduler to execute batch file. The ultimate goal I have, is to run the Selenium WebDriver tests on the Linux system via jenkins while Jenkins server has been installed on a Linux machine.
Any help will be great! Also let me know if anybody wants to see the code.
I have followed this link to run Selenium Server as a windows service: http://www.claytonstechnobabble.com/2011/08/run-any-application-as-windows-service.html
The service gets installed successfully but when I try to run it it gives error:
"The SeleniumRC service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs."
can you guys help me on that asap? what am I missing?
This is the selenium server file that I am trying to run: "selenium-server-standalone-2.5.0.jar"
Ali, you might try capturing the output from the service. Since the Java app is designed to be run in console mode, there is likely to be some useful explanation if you can capture std out and std err. Running the service with a wrapper like Java Service Launcher will provide that functionality to log the error information: http://jslwin.sourceforge.net/
Create a bat file containing
//cd Location of file
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.5.0.jar
then use this bat file to execute in service.
