When running as a service (using perlsvc), if the service opens STDIN,
STDOUT or STDERR to some file, any process ran using Win32::Process will
not inherit the file handles.
This bug previously reported it, and offered a patch:
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=30573
Here's how to reproduce it.
Create a directory, download this snippet into the file testservice.pl
http://pastebin.com/m78325af
Then this snippet into job.pl
http://pastebin.com/m3dc56344
Compile testservice.pl as a service in a console window:
perlapp --force job.pl
perlsvc --force testservice.pl
Now, if you run testservice.exe directly:
testservice.exe
and you look into the newly created job.log file, you should see this:
Wed Mar 25 12:58:37 2009: [from service] test stdout. Fileno:1
Wed Mar 25 12:58:37 2009: [from service] test stderr. Fileno:2
Wed Mar 25 12:58:37 2009: Starting Win32::Process
Next, you should see two lines from the process.
job.exe Win32::Process: Testing stderr.
job.exe Win32::Process: Testing stdout.
Over and over again.
But if you start it as a service:
testservice.exe --install auto
you will see this in job.log, missing the output from the job.exe.
Wed Mar 25 12:58:37 2009: [from service] test stdout. Fileno:1
Wed Mar 25 12:58:37 2009: [from service] test stderr. Fileno:2
Wed Mar 25 12:58:37 2009: Starting Win32::Process
Next, you should see two lines from the process.
In testservice.log, I open STDOUT and STDERR towards job.log, right
before starting job.exe, So job.exe's output should be in job.log, but
that doesn't work with a service, for some reason.
