[java] Servers........
Author
I am wondering how to keep a server application running 24 hours a day, so that it is always available to a game. I understand how to operate the client and server once the server is listening to a port, but my question is how to you remotely invoke the server application to start running so that you may connect to it with a client application?
thanks

The standard way of does this is the have the server listening at some standard port all the time.
When a client connect through this port they use that connection to agree on some other session specific port, disconnect and then reconnect again at the new port - using a new thread to listen at the new port.
You cannot "invoke" a not running server program.

Thanks, unfortunately that''s what I thought.
If I find a way to do it I will let everyone know then.

normally, when a server program is run it doesn''t stop until explicitly instructed to stop. So, once the server program is running it should run until the computer loses power.
