TeamCity agent as service vs TeamCity agent not as service


Could anybody explain difference? When during installation I install teamcity like service I see teamcity agent service running.

What if agent installed without "as service" checkbox? How it will works? does it mean that I should start service manualy and thats all?


Solution

  • If you install the TeamCity build agent as a service, then it will automatically start when the system starts.

    If you do not, you will need to manually start it every time the system starts.
