Another question for you Dave, When my service starts I am checking for, among other things, an INI file.
If the INI file does not exist, I set the service state to service_stopped, then exit. So what the user sees is: C:\datacom>net start webopsntmon The WebOps NT Monitor service is starting. The WebOps NT Monitor service could not be started. The service did not report an error. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534. Question is: How can I report an error? Reading MSDN suggests that MyServiceStatus.dwServiceSpecificExitCode might be what I am looking for, can I use this from Win32::Daemon? Cheers!
