The runasservice option forces the client
command process to continue running, even if the account that started
the client logs off.
Use this option with the AT command
and the dsmc sched command when you schedule client
command batch jobs. The runasservice option is not valid
in any options file (dsm.opt or tsmasr.opt).
Important: Use the scheduler service when running Tivoli® Storage Manager services unattended.
Set runasservice=yes only to schedule Tivoli Storage Manager commands using the Windows AT command.
Setting runasservice=yes might interfere with other
interactive uses of the Tivoli Storage
Manager client.
Supported Clients
This option is valid
for all Windows clients.
The Tivoli Storage Manager client
API does not support this option.

Parameters
- No
- Does not force the client command process to continue running,
even if the account that started the client logs off. This is the
default.
- Yes
- Forces the client command process to continue running, even if
the account that started the client logs off.
Restrictions:
- When runasservice=yes, the setting for the REPLACE
is always overridden to the behavior of replace=no.
- The option runasservice=yes cannot be used with passwordaccess=prompt.
- Backup, archive, restore and retrieve operations performed with runasservice=yes that
encounter prompts always fail. To avoid this problem, either save
the encryption key password with encryptkey=save,
or turn off the runasservice option.
