DESCRIPTION
The angel program is a guardian angel process for Appweb. It watches
over Appweb to start it and restart it should it fail. The angel is a
robust, minimal program with one job - to ensure Appweb remains avail-
able.
OPTIONS
--args arguments
Arguments to use for the Appweb command line when it starts.
--console
Windows specific option to allow the Angel process to interact
with the users desktop.
--daemon
Run the Angel as a daemon process. This causes the Angel to
detach from the current shell and run in the background.
--heartBeat interval
Set the frequency in seconds for the Angel to check on Appweb.
This period should be short enough that Appweb will be quickly
restarted should it fail, but not so short that the Angel
process consumes significant CPU resources. If Appweb dies more
than 15 times per hour, the Angel will suspend restarting App-
web.
--home directory
Set the home directory in which to start Appweb.
--install
Windows specific option to install the Angel as a windows ser-
vice.
--l logFile:level
Specify a file to use for log messages. The level argument
defines the message verbosity. Zero is the least and 9 is the
most verbose.
--program path
Define the Appweb program path to execute.
--stop Windows specific option to stop the Angel service.
--start
Windows specific option to start the Angel service.
--uninstall
Windows specific option to uninstall the Angel as a windows ser-
vice.
