Hi. This post is similar to one sent by Tom Dalton 12 June 2007. Unfortunately, appropriate solution of his problem was not published yet.
I'm trying to create a simple windows service. I found code of simple service on the Internet. Service works well as long as I'm logged in. But as soon as I log out the service is interrupted and windows event log contains the following message: The instance's SvcRun() method failed File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32\lib\win32serviceutil.py", line 785, in SvcRun self.SvcDoRun() File "C:\altworx_repository\wwwroot\cgi-bin\pokus\aservice.py", line 20, in SvcDoRun time.sleep(10) <type 'exceptions.IOError'>: (4, 'Interrupted function call') Service is running on Windows XP Prof with Python 2.5. Code of the service is bellow. Has anyone any idea what's wrong? Thank you for any little help. import win32service import win32serviceutil import time import win32api import win32con class aservice(win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework): _svc_name_ = "aservice" _svc_display_name_ = "aservice - It Does nothing" def __init__(self,args): win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework.__init__(self,args) self.isAlive = True def SvcDoRun(self): import servicemanager while self.isAlive: servicemanager.LogInfoMsg("aservice - is alive and well") time.sleep(10) servicemanager.LogInfoMsg("aservice - Stopped") def SvcStop(self): import servicemanager servicemanager.LogInfoMsg("aservice - Recieved stop signal") self.ReportServiceStatus(win32service.SERVICE_STOP_PENDING) self.isAlive = False def ctrlHandler(ctrlType): return True if __name__ == '__main__': win32api.SetConsoleCtrlHandler(ctrlHandler, True) win32serviceutil.HandleCommandLine(aservice) This code is slightly modified.
