kirill.kovalenko Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I'm trying to figure out the way to run Windows client as a service. I'm planning to use nssm.exe for this. The problem is that I need to supply a configuration to BTSync.exe when it's running as a service.I looked through the web site for command line syntax and only found '--help' and '--dump-simple-config'. Both of them do not seem to work with Windows client, as well as the standard Windows '/?' .My questions are:Does Windows client has command line options? If yes, what are they ?What is the recommended way to run Windows client as a service ?version: 1.0.116 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kos13 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Windows version doesn't have a CLI. There were some workarounds to run Sync as service, but it didn't work for everyone.We plan to add CLI to windows and ability to run Sync as service.

GreatMarko Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Does Windows client has command line options? If yes, what are they ?At present, command line options are only available on Linux/NAS devices.What is the recommended way to run Windows client as a service ?There isn't an "official" way to run BTSync as a Windows service - but this has been requested a number of times in the forum, and there is another thread on this topic here. The developers are aware of this desire! Hopefully the ability to run BTSync as a service will emerge soon, although last I heard there was no specific ETA for this feature.

dustinhess Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 still nothing almost a year later? I desperately need it to be able to run as a service on windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertShadow Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Is there a ticket in an issue tracker we can use to follow Window CLI support? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 @DesertShadowWe don't have an external issue tracker - though we have Feature Request subforum, where you can post your feature requests. Also, we've implemented an HTTP based API. Will it work for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
