Running the Worker Daemon as a Program
These procedures describe how to run the Worker Daemon as a program.
There are several ways to start the Worker Daemon. The Worker Daemon can run not only as a service in the background, as described above, but it can also be run as a program. To run the Worker Daemon as a program, select one of the following options:
Start the Worker Daemon by double-clicking the WorkerDaemon.exe file. The Worker Daemon executable on the worker machine must be running at all times, as explained in the next note.
* 
After the user is logged off on the worker machine, the Worker Daemon process ends. Alternatively, the Worker Daemon can remain running by locking the workstation instead of logging out. In this case, the machine is left in a secure state. To lock the workstation, press CTRL+ALT+DEL, then click Lock Computer.
Start the Worker Daemon using a command line parameter. By default, the Worker Daemon listens on port 601. The Worker Daemon can be forced to use another port by specifying the port number as a command line parameter when starting the Worker Daemon.
Start the Worker Daemon using Auto Start. The Worker Daemon is started automatically when the computer starts by creating a shortcut to it and then placing the shortcut in the following directory:
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Where %ALLUSERSPROFILE% is the traditionally out-of-the-box Windows environment variable pointing to the "All Users" profile directory.
