Operating the MAC

11.3.1

Startup

Der MAC is started automatically as an operating system
service, and runs in the background without user login. The
Master starts all processes it needs to control based on the file
ProcessTable.txt (path C:\MgtS\Access Engine\MAC\Config).
The startup order is the order in which they appear in this file.
A MAC icon is displayed in the systray after startup. Default
settings dictate that the console windows for the individual
processes remain closed. These can however be displayed in
the ProcessControl application, which can be started by right-
clicking on the MAC systray icon and logging in with the name
and password of a local Windows administrator. Cf. also
Section 11.4 Process Control, Page 113

shut down in (increasing) order of their "Stop Numbers". The
MAC itself has the highest stop number and so is terminated
last.
There are several ways of shutting down the MAC:

answer Cancel in order to shutdown the MAC completely.
Here too the deliberate intervention of the operator is
required. If the response is not forthcoming, or if the
operator gives the default response by pressing ENTER,
