When I installed deadline client I did not checked the option to install it as a service, is it possible to set it as a service afterwards?
There is for Windows! You can find details here. You’ll need to run the commands as administrator or the OS will throw errors.
For Linux and Mac, we recommend just running the installer over again.
Just fleshing my last response out a bit, we call on sc create under the hood and run the deadlinelauncherservice.exe program to do its thing in Windows land.
On Linux, we have to copy script files during installation. On Linux, that’s “/etc/init.d/deadline10launcher” that gets run at boot time.
On macOS it’s “/Library/LaunchDaemons/cocom.thinkboxsoftware.deadlinelauncher.plist” and is read by launchctl but only after calling launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/cocom.thinkboxsoftware.deadlinelauncher.plist
So, if you were to change this on Linux/Mac you’d need to copy the files over from a working machine or just run the client installer.
