Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to write a windows service, I am totally
new to it. I have written a simple test case, however it doesn't appear
to do anything. Although it installs and appears to start, when I run a
query of its status (using another app) it says it is not running. As
a note I am running it as the administrator in a Win2k machine to avoid
any problems with permissions - although I would rather not do this for
ever :-)
I install the software as follows:
python testservice.py install
python testservice.py start
I am sure I am missing something out as I am basically working from
code samples for other solutions which I have seen. In particular one
for getting CherryPy to run as a service.
When I have figured this all out I intend to add in some code I have
already written which runs a server application.
It may be all rather obvious but I am quite new Python (just a few
months) and totally new to Windows services.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best,
Rod
