Can I start Web Server when VI runs?

[tir38]

I'm quite familiar with the Web Publishing Tool under the Options menu. I would like to not have to start the web server every time I open LV. I have only one VI running on a machine. Web Publishing Tool is correctly generating the html page. This VI is just running all day long and doesn't require any user input. I would like it if, in the event of a machine restart, some user could just run the VI and not have to worry about also starting the Web Server. Is there a way to do this?

Hi tir38,

You can use property nodes to programatically start and stop the web server within LabVIEW.  Check out this KnowledgeBase article for more details.
