StartstopConsole Overview
(Windows Only)

(last revised 7 June, 2006)

The StartstopConsole connects to a running instance of Windows Startstop via named pipes and creates a Windows command prompt window. It's useful when running Startstop Service, and you need to apply command line tools like "restart", "reconfigure", "status", "pidpau" or "pau".

Configuration Hint In order to get this to work on XP you need to disable the "XP Welcome screen" and disable "Fast user switching"
