Hi all, I am new to 'pywin32' but I was able to create very quickly a new Windows service for my purpose thanks to your work! Unfortunatelly when I install and then start my service, it gets stucked in Starting state and then I have no chance to stop or remove it except by restarting the computer. Here is the code I used, could you help me on this one? I added this line self.ReportServiceStatus(win32service.SERVICE_RUNNING) in SvcDoRun function compared to your example but it did not change anything. Thanks
#!/usr/bin/env python3 import win32service import win32serviceutil import win32event import servicemanager class MyClass(win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework): # you can NET START/STOP the service by the following name _svc_name_ = "My_CLASS" # this text shows up as the service name in the Service # Control Manager (SCM) _svc_display_name_ = "MY_CLASS" # this text shows up as the description in the SCM _svc_description_ = "MY_DESC" def __init__(self, args): # create Windows Service win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework.__init__(self, args) self.hWaitStop = win32event.CreateEvent(None, 0, 0, None) # create an event to listen for stop requests on def SvcDoRun(self): self.ReportServiceStatus(win32service.SERVICE_RUNNING) win32event.WaitForSingleObject(self.hWaitStop, win32event.INFINITE) def SvcStop(self): # tell the SCM we're shutting down self.ReportServiceStatus(win32service.SERVICE_STOP_PENDING) # fire the stop event win32event.SetEvent(self.hWaitStop) if __name__ == '__main__': win32serviceutil.HandleCommandLine(MyClass) _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
