Start/Stop Service. This button toggles between Start and Stop depending on whether or not the service is running.

Logging Options

In the Log To box, select the way you want to log Whois events:

• sysMMDD.TXT. This sends event information to a file of this name where mm is the month and dd is the day the log was written. This file is stored in the Spool directory.
• No Log. Select this to turn off the logging of events.
• App Log. This sends event information to the Windows Application Log (viewed with the Windows Event Viewer.)
