Hi,
I want to have a script which creates a windows service, and that the name
of the service could be fed by user input.
Example: *createservice --servicename=whatevernameichoose*
*
*
I came out with a solution which is below:
class WindowsService(win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework):
_svc_name_ = "dummyname"
_svc_display_name_ = "dummydisplayname"
def __init__(self, args):
self.__class__._svc_name_ = args[0]
win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework.__init__(self, args)
# My question is not about starting and stopping service
def SvcStop(self):
stop_service()
def SvcDoRun(self):
start_service()
def main():
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('action', type=str, nargs='?')
parser.add_argument('-s', type=str, nargs='?', action='store',
dest='servicename',
help="Name of the service to handle")
cmdargs = parser.parse_args()
if cmdargs.servicename:
WindowsService._svc_name_ = cmdargs.servicename
win32serviceutil.HandleCommandLine(WindowsService,
customInstallOptions='s')
if __name__=='__main__':
main()
As you might notice, my solution is pretty dirty. But it works, I can
install and remove services with a custom name not hard coded in the script.
My question is 'does someone knows a cleaner solution to achieve this ?'
Cleaner would be: not override _svc_name_ dynamically, and not call another
commandline parser before the one called by win32serviceutil....
As far as I understand, you can handle your customInstallOptions with a
customInstallOptionsHandler, but that one is called after the creation of
the service, so by that time the name of the service is already set. That's
why I came out with that solution.......
Thanks
