I think a very clear name would be "computername". I don't think anyone would misinterpret that attribute name. If you do a /? On netsvc.exe, the usage help says "NETSVC servicename \\computername /command"
Looking forward to using this new task.

In my build/deploy setup, I need to stop/start/restart services on our production box, from our build box. I currently use the <exec> task with netsvc.exe so that I can specify a remote machine. I think I got netsvc.exe out of the Win2K resource kit, but memory is a little fuzzy... It would be great if this task could do that by specifying an attribute like computer="" or server="" or whatever name appeals to people.

I'd love to get a few more <exec> tasks out of my builds. My only suggestion would be to include a "Restart" action (which would be equivalent to Stop followed by Start with the appropriate waitforstatuses). -----Original Message----- From: Gert Driesen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2003 3:50 AM To: Nant-Developers (E-Mail) Subject: [nant-dev] servicecontroller task Hi, I'm thinking about adding a task for stopping/starting/pausing/continueing a service, and at the same time waiting for it to reach a certain status. It would look something like this : <servicecontroller service="iisadmin" action="Start | Stop | Continue | Pause" waitforstatus="Paused | Running | ...." waittimeout="..." /> As the name suggests, I would use the servicecontroller task to implement this task, which should make it pretty straightforward. Ofcourse, this task will be win32-specific, and as such would be part of the NAnt.Win32 namespace and assembly. Any remarks, suggestions, ... ?
