I developed a python service using win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework
and PythonService.exe. If the service
crashes (eg, an unhandled exception is raised) I want the service to
restart. So, I configured the service to restart
using `ChangeServiceConfig2`. Code looks like this.
```
import win32serviceutil
import win32service
import os
from . import makeWin32Service
win32serviceutil.HandleCommandLine(makeWin32Service.PreVeilService)
service_name = os.environ.get("PV_SERVICE_NAME")
win32service.ChangeServiceConfig2
hscm = win32service.OpenSCManager(None,None,win32service.SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS)
try:
hs = win32service.OpenService(hscm, service_name,
win32service.SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS)
try:
win32service.ChangeServiceConfig2(hs,
win32service.SERVICE_CONFIG_FAILURE_ACTIONS_FLAG, True)
service_failure_actions = {
'ResetPeriod': 60*60, # Time in seconds after
which to reset the failure count to zero.
'RebootMsg': u'', # Not using reboot option
'Command': u'', # Not using run-command option
'Actions': [
(win32service.SC_ACTION_RESTART, 1000*5), #
first action after failure, delay in ms
(win32service.SC_ACTION_RESTART, 1000*5), #
second action after failure
(win32service.SC_ACTION_NONE, 0) #
subsequent actions after failure
]
}
win32service.ChangeServiceConfig2(hs,
win32service.SERVICE_CONFIG_FAILURE_ACTIONS, service_failure_actions)
except (win32service.error, NotImplementedError):
print "ChangeServiceConfig2 failed to set restart behavior"
finally:
win32service.CloseServiceHandle(hs)
finally:
win32service.CloseServiceHandle(hscm)
```
This does not work with vanilla pywin32. From the MSDN page for
`SERVICE_CONFIG_FAILURE_ACTIONS_FLAG`:
"If this member [fFailureActionsOnNonCrashFailures] is TRUE and the
service has configured failure actions, the failure
actions are queued if the service process terminates without
reporting a status of SERVICE_STOPPED or if it enters
the SERVICE_STOPPED state but the dwWin32ExitCode member of the
SERVICE_STATUS structure is not
ERROR_SUCCESS (0).
If this member is FALSE and the service has configured failure
actions, the failure actions are queued only if the
service terminates without reporting a status of SERVICE_STOPPED.
This setting is ignored unless the service has configured failure
actions. For information on configuring failure actions,
see ChangeServiceConfig2."
In order for the process to restart PythonService.exe needs to NOT set
status to SERVICE_STOPPED or set
dwWin32ExitCode to some non zero value. These conditions are not met
in PythonService.cpp:
```
void WINAPI service_main(DWORD dwArgc, LPTSTR *lpszArgv)
{
// ...
start = PyObject_GetAttrString(instance, "SvcRun");
if (start==NULL)
ReportPythonError(E_PYS_NO_RUN_METHOD);
else {
// Call the Python service entry point - when this returns, the
// service has stopped!
PyObject *result = PyObject_CallObject(start, NULL);
if (result==NULL)
ReportPythonError(E_PYS_START_FAILED);
else
Py_DECREF(result);
}
// We are all done.
cleanup:
// try to report the stopped status to the service control manager.
Py_XDECREF(start);
Py_XDECREF(instance);
if (pe && pe->sshStatusHandle) { // Wont be true if debugging.
if (!SetServiceStatus( pe->sshStatusHandle, &stoppedStatus ))
ReportAPIError(PYS_E_API_CANT_SET_STOPPED);
}
return;
}
```
Presumably we should do something with the return value from `SvcRun`
then conditionally report an error with
dwWin32ExitCode. Here is my patch that gives restarts when `SvcRun`
throws an exception. The ability to
let Windows handle service restarts is important; I would like to get
this fixed in upstream.
