Windows Service batch files

[Jonathan Gallimore <jo...@gmail.com>]

Hi

We recently updated the version of Commons-Daemon that we use in TomEE. One
knock on effect of this is that this now installs the service as the user
'NT Authority\Local Account' as opposed to 'LocalSystem'. Should this not
be what you want, you can work around it by changing it either with the UI
provided by TomEE.exe, or in the Service Control Manager.

Our batch scripts do take a "/user" property, but this simply controls what
use the installation batch file runs as, not who the service logs on as.

I'll make a change to these so its possible to specify a parameter to pass
the service name and a means to capture the password.

I've opened up a PR for this: https://github.com/apache/tomee/pull/545

I'd definitely appreciate review from any Windows users out there.

Cheers

Jon
