WAC Server Service

The WAC Server is built as an NT service, which means it will be running on the background, and by default, WAC Server will be automatically started whenever you start the machine.

The service name for WAC Server is, quite naturally, "Foxit WAC Server". And since it's a service, so like any other Windows NT/2000/XP services, you can use the service utility to start and stop WAC Server, changing the startup type (whether to automatically start the service when machine startup), etc.

WAC Service can be started and stopped in the following ways:

1. From the Windows Services

On your server machine, go to "Start/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services", scroll down the list or just press "F" letter for serveral times and you will find "Foxit WAC Server". Then click the Start or Stop button to execute the task. Select whether WAC Service will start automatically or manually, double click "Foxit WAC Server" and select Automatic or Manual from the Start type combo box.

2. From the Command Line

• To stop the WAC service, at the command line, type "WAC STOP"



• To start the WAC Service, at the command line type "WAC START"



• To restart the WAC Service, at the command line type "WAC RESTART"

NOTES:

• You can perfrom the above commands at the basic Windows command prompt, WAC Server command prompt, or other command prompts that available on your machine.
While when you logon remotely, you should use WAC command prompt to achieve this task.


• For detailed insrtruction, please refer to Start, Storp and Restart WAC Service.

3. From the WAC Service Manager

WAC Service Manager, it performs the same functionalities as the Windows Services, except it's a text-based application, so when you logon remotely using a terminal, you should use the WAC Service Manager.

NOTE:

• If you want to just kill some stuck session (because of a not responding application), please don't stop or start the server, just abort this session by using the "WAC Session Manager" or the "WAC ABORT" command.(Refer to WAC Session Manager and WAC Command Line)
