Tried this option on a linux server, and the launcher never starts the webservice. Tried
LaunchWebServiceAtStartup=True
LaunchWebServiceAtStartup=true
LaunchWebServiceAtStartup=1
No bonus. The slave is started properly though.
Seems this got broken in 8.0, we’ll get this fixed – thanks for reporting it!
Cheers,
Jon
Something seems off even in deadline7 there… It does start the webservice, but it immediately shuts down:

2015-12-11 11:44:41: Web Service Shutting Down...Might be that some other application is currently binding to the Port that it’s configured to listen on, I believe we aren’t currently printing out a helpful message if that’s the case, and just exit.
Was there another instance of the web service running, or was something else configured to use that port?
No, if i run the webservice manually it starts up fine.
This is working ok in beta6 (for deadline7 we will just keep using the ‘screen’ trick)
Is ‘nohup’ still not working? This was supposed to have been fixed in Beta 6…
We don’t need nohup anymore, since we can now simply use deadline’s own init.d script for the launcher & it starts the webservice as expected.
So i have not retested that to be honest. But the ‘LaunchWebServiceAtStartup’ flag definitely works now
Got it – I just realized that you mentioned you were going to keep using ‘screen’ for deadline 7 (not 8), I just got a bit confused
