Command-Line Interface
In addition to the UI, the Desktop Gateway has a command-line interface that makes it easy to deploy on machines where a user is not always logged in, for example, a Web server. To facilitate deployment to these environments, the Desktop Gateway contains two executables:
| RemoteConnector.exe | Provides the user interface and allows configuration of the application. |
| RemoteConnectorService.exe | Processes requests and performs all interaction with QuickBooks. |
The syntax for managing the Desktop Gateway Windows service from the command line is as follows:
RemoteConnectorService.exe /Service <Command>
The following commands are available:
| Install | Installs the Windows service. |
| Delete | Deletes the Windows service. |
| Start | Starts the Windows service. |
| Stop | Stops the Windows service. |
| State | Reports the current state of the Windows service (started or stopped). |
| Auto | Changes the Windows service startup type to Automatic. |
| Manual | Changes the Windows service startup type to Manual. |
| Disabled | Changes the Windows service startup type to Disabled. |
