starting mercurial hg web server from windows command line

Question

Anybody knows how I can start hgweb (mercurial hg web server) from the windows command line?

Currently to run it I am doing a rightclick on the explorer window in a repository folder.

Thanks!

Answer 1

D:\>hg serve
listening at http://my.host.name:8888/ (bound to *:8888)

CTRL+C to kill it.

Answer 2

You can start q web server using 'hg serve' and that will listen on the default port: 8000. Or you can specify a port 'hg serve -p XXXX'

I use it on a batch file and start it automatically.
