I have a Python service (vmpro_pager.py) which worked fine when I wrote it a month ago. You can see the complete source code here: http://projects.amor.org/misc/browser/vmpro_pager.py It runs an SMTP proxy to clean up SMTP messages from a sender which is not compliant with the SMTP spec. Today, we found out that the service was not running, and had not been running for some time; my best guess is since the first reboot after the service was installed.
Attempts to remove the service via "vmpro_pager.py remove" failed, complaining that no such service was installed. After manually deleting the appropriate registry keys, I am able to run "vmpro_pager.py install" with no problems. However, starting the service from Windows Service Manager fails with the message, "Windows could not start the Voicemail Pro Email Fixup service on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 1." The Event Log contains a single Error event with the Description: "The Voicemail Pro Email Fixup service terminated with service-specific error 1." The PYS_SERVICE_STARTED message from SvcDoRun is *not* in the Event Log. Running the service via "vmpro_pager.py debug", however, works perfectly. Although I'm certainly open to answers of the type, "here's your problem..." ;) I'd like to also where I can insert hooks to return an error code more-meaningful than "1" in the future.
