Launcher

The Pilot Data Server Launcher is a minimal dashboard for starting and stopping services, and also offers a UI to change configuration.

• Start/Stop Pilot Data Server: Starting and stopping the Vizrt Pilot Data Server service on the computer.

• Start/Stop Script Runner: Starting and stopping the Vizrt Pilot Script Runner service on the computer.

• Start/Stop Crop Server: Starting and stopping the Vizrt Crop Server service on the computer. 

• Launch Pilot Data Server on startup: Guarantees the Pilot Data Service and additional services (Crop Server, Script Runner and Thumbnail Generator) are started when the computer is started.
