How do you stop the Websense Remote Client service on a client on 7.6.  On 7.5 you could go to WDC folder and do a wdc -stop <passphrase>  but I don't see that folder anymore with the new client.

 

Along those lines, is there an easy way to make it so the service is "Disabled" on the client machine so that it doesn't start back up when it reboots?

Thanks J. Slight change though.  For me I had to use wsrf rather than wspxy

 

 

C:\Program Files\Websense\Websense Endpoint>wepsvc.exe -stop -password <password>
wspxy

Specified service WSPXY doesn't exist.


C:\Program Files\Websense\Websense Endpoint>wepsvc.exe -stop -password <password>
wsrf
Service WSRF is stopping...
Service is stopped.

We were able to create a script to stop the service and then disable it and it works.

 

Not sure about 7.6 though

Any insight?  I see the remote client service runs this exe: "C:\Program Files\Websense\Websense Endpoint\wepsvc.exe" -k ss

 

Trying to throw other arguments at the wepsvc haven't proven useful.  Any way to disable this service via command line?  Also, how do you enable client side debugging?

Any luck with this yet? I'm in the same boat.  There is the DebugDump log file in the ws endpoint dir but it seems to have alot less information in it than the 7.5 debug.

  1. Open a command window and navigate to the \Websense Endpoint directory.
    • cd \Program Files\Websense\Websense Endpoint
  2. Next, stop the wepsvc by entering the following.
    • wepsvc -stop -password <password> wspxy
