Class DriverService

  org.openqa.selenium.remote.service.DriverService

public class DriverService
extends Object

Manages the life and death of a native executable driver server. It is expected that the driver server implements the WebDriver Wire Protocol. In particular, it should implement /status command that is used to check if the server is alive. In addition to this, it is supposed that the driver server implements /shutdown hook that is used to stop the server.
