Start IDS CS5.5 at reboot with IndesignServerServices

We make use of InDesign Server Windows Service and InDesign Server Console

Management snap-in to automatically load InDesignServer. In the current setup
InDesignServer.exe runs yet the InDesignServer.com process doesn't seem to load.

Then on running a JavaScript file via the ExtendScript Toolkit editor the Application

tell us InDesignServer CS5.5 isn't running. See attachments for screenshots.

It is possible to start IDS command line, and by ExtendScript Toolkit, but Windows

Service only launches the indesignserver.exe

And what is the problem if InDesignServerService just launch InDesignServer.exe?

Hi,

The problem is that when I run a script by ExtendScript Toolkit, it says it's going to start InDesign Server. Which gives me the idea that it is'nt really up and running.

Hi,

I don't really know if this is a feature or a bug but this is the normal behaviour (since the CS3 release). I just tried on every of my development boxes (CS3, CS4, CS5 and CS 5.5)

The only way to target InDesignServer from the EST is to run it from the command line (without any option, this is obvious)

Best,

Luca

PS: I am BTW sure the server is running and listening to the specified port
