When you are like me you really don't like working with the terminal. However when you manually want to start up servoy_server there is no other way. Or... Is there another way!?

Yes, there is. And, in fact it is quite simple to create it. Here you go:

1. Go into your Servoy folder;
2. Create a new folder and name it (like you want) with the extension .app;
3. Go into the new folder (show package contents);
4. Create a folder 'Contents';
5. Go into that folder;
6. Throw the shell script 'servoy_server.sh' into the folder and rename it with the same name as the top folder without the .app extension;

Congratulations, you created an application in the most basic way! Now double click the app and the shell script will execute and start up the server.

When you followed earlier tips/articles on creating a shell script that also starts up your database you have a way to start a server manually in a very easy and convenient way!

Cheers and have fun,
