Services

Synchronet Services1) are loadable modules or external executables designed to be loaded by the Synchronet Services Server to service a particular TCP or UDP protocol for remote client connections. Synchronet Services are similar in concept to UNIX's [x]inetd services.

Service Types

There four types of services supported:

  1. Dynamic JavaScript (the most common service type)
  2. Static JavaScript (e.g. the IRC Daemon)
  3. Dynamic Native
  4. Static Native

Configuration

Services are normally configured in the services.ini file in the ctrl directory.

Some static services (e.g. the IRC Daemon) may alternatively be executed independently of the Services Server using JSexec.
