Windows service name is too long and impractical

XMLWordPrintable

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Server. Using JIRA Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      When using the JIRA windows installer and clicking "Install JIRA as a service", the windows service is created under the name "Atlassian JIRA Enterprise Edition 3.8.1".

      This is very impractical, because

      • the service name is very long
      • it has spaces, which breaks shell scripts (at least makes it more difficult to write them)
      • it has a release number in the name which is certainly bad practice
      • you can't execute "net stop JIRA" anymore
      • the existing Atlassian documentation is using JIRA as the service name.

      Please make it a short name without spaces, such as "JIRA". Should be also trivial to fix.
