Registering a Websphere Application Server instance as a windows service.

By default, the default profile of the WAS is registered as windows service during installation. Any new app server profiles that you create can be registered using the following command
 WASService.exe -add <<serviceName>> -serverName <<serverName>> -profilePath <<profilePath>> -startType automatic 

where <<serviceName>> is the name of the service that appears in the component service prepended with "IBM Websphere Application Server V7.0"  
<<serverName>> is the name of the server to start (e.g. server1)<<profilePath>> is the path to the websphere application server profile
startType can be either automatic, manual or disabled
     
Following is the usage for the command

Usage: WASService.exe (with no arguments displays this help)
                    || -add <service name>
                       -serverName <Server>
