When Natural Development Server is used, a procedure to activate the server may be called during system startup.
The Natural installation process provides a Natural Development Server start/stop service procedure. The name of the procedure will be generated depending on the installation directory.
Furthermore, the Natural installation process determines the platform automatically and prepares the system to execute the start/stop service procedure during start/stop of the system. Depending on the platform, the system directory for initialization and, if needed, the runlevel startup directories will be selected. The start/stop service procedure will be copied to the system directory for initialization and links will be created in the runlevel startup directories or it will create the unit files for systemd.
The Natural installation process installs the Natural Development Server start/stop service when sudoers permissions are available.
You can also use the script daemon.sh in the <install-dir>/common/bin directory (see also the documentation Installing Software AG Products, section Register Daemons to Automatically Start and Shut Down Products on UNIX Systems). The used rc scripts are in <install-dir>/Natural/INSTALL/sys.
To verify the operation of Natural Development Server, invoke a Natural for Windows and connect to the system on which the server runs. Use the port specified at start of Natural Development Server.
