A system for automatically configuring server daemons in a client-server network for delivering services to a client is provided. The system comprises an interactive server in communication with a database server. The interactive server runs a server daemon to make a service available to a client. The server daemon is programmed to automatically locate, configure and edit predetermined system configuration files located in the interactive server, relative to account information associated with the client. The database server releasably retains the account information, and has a task program to generate executable and transferable tasks for use in configuring the predetermined system files. The client communicates with the interactive server through an external communications switch using a controller. The controller enables the client to selectably add, remove, or modify the services available from the server daemon by manipulating the account information.

The present invention relates to computer systems for network services. In particular, the invention relates to a method and system for use in configuring network servers for making services available to a client.
The growth of the Internet® and the World Wide Web (also known as the “Web”) has spawned an explosion of online services. The accessibility of the Internet® to end-users and clients (i.e., end-user programs and applications) has opened the door to a vast array of web-based services and applications offered by hosting companies. Typically, hosting companies make available or sell to clients services or applications that provide Internet based services, such as web space for a web site, email, and the like. The client, in turn, may offer those services to end users (which may also be considered clients). The services that are made available and sold by hosting companies are maintained on computer interfaces commonly known as “servers”. Servers are computers or hardware on which the services that clients use reside. Services available on the servers are transmitted from the server software to the client software over communication lines in
The frenetic pace of computer innovation has increased the need for hosting companies to provide services that are quickly accessible and have enhanced performance. For instance, many end users utilize the Web to transact business, order supplies, and exchange information. As a result, hosting companies are under increased pressure to deliver hosting services to clients that are more accessible, problem free and match the rapid pace in which services are utilized by the end-users or customers of the client. Nonetheless, hosting companies often experience a multitude of problems in delivering hosting services to clients that offer web based services to end-users.
For the purpose of illustrating the invention, there is shown in the drawings a form of which is presently preferred; it being understood, however, that this invention is not limited to the precise arrangements and instrumentalities shown.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a client-server system in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is an exemplary computer for use by a client in the system of the present invention.
The present invention will now be described more fully herein, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which preferred embodiments of the invention are shown. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiment set forth herein; rather, the embodiment shown in the drawings are provided to illustrate the basic structure and components of the invention, as would be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. As shown in the drawings, use of the broken lines illustrates that the components of the invention are not limited to a particular size, structure or location.
