# ColdFusion Processes on Solaris

ColdFusion runs these processes on the system:

- `cfexec` - Starts/stops the other processes and manages page scheduling
- `cfserver` - The application server process
- `cfrdsservice` - Provides system support for the Administrator
- `ipaliasd` - Provides IP failover capability for ColdFusion Server

In addition, the `windu_registryd40` process provides an emulation of the Windows registry database. This process must be running (as the root user) in order for ColdFusion to function. The start script will start this process if it isn't running (such as during system startup). The stop script does not stop the registry process.
