I am not familiar with this approach (and I am working on a machine
where I do not have admin privileges), but an alternative is to
download the Windows extensions for Python by Mark Hammond (et. al.) at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ which makes writing a Windows service simple as the following example illustrates: ===================================================== # SmallestService.py # # A sample demonstrating the smallest possible service written in Python. import win32serviceutil import win32service import win32event class SmallestPythonService(win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework): _svc_name_ = "SmallestPythonService" _svc_display_name_ = "The smallest possible Python Service" def __init__(self, args): win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework.__init__(self, args) # Create an event which we will use to wait on. # The "service stop" request will set this event. self.hWaitStop = win32event.CreateEvent(None, 0, 0, None) def SvcStop(self): # Before we do anything, tell the SCM we are starting the stop process. self.ReportServiceStatus(win32service.SERVICE_STOP_PENDING) # And set my event. win32event.SetEvent(self.hWaitStop) def SvcDoRun(self): # We do nothing other than wait to be stopped! win32event.WaitForSingleObject(self.hWaitStop, win32event.INFINITE) if __name__=='__main__': win32serviceutil.HandleCommandLine(SmallestPythonService) ===================================================== Just type: SmallestService.py -h at a shell prompt to see the options for installing/removing etc. -- jv Tor Erik Sønvisen wrote:
