Hi Frank & Paul,
My preferred method is to have wpkg call "net start messenger" immediately
before sending the messages and "net stop messenger" immediately
afterwards. Not perfect (and doesn't work if messenger is disabled rather
than set to start manually) but it's a start.
Batch command SC from the resource kit will set the messenger service to
start-up type manual.
SC config Messenger start= demand
(note the space after the equals sign)
SC.exe reports:
[SC] ChangeServiceConfig SUCCESS
Sc.exe - Service Controller Tool. This is tool is standard with XP
(%WinDir%\system32\sc.exe)
For Windows 2000 it can be downloaded here:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/reskit/win2000/sc.zip
"Sc.exe - Service Controller Tool
This tool provides a way to communicate with Service
Controller (Services.exe) from the command prompt to retrieve and set
information about services. Service Controller Tool is useful for testing
and debugging your service programs. SC implements calls to all of the
Windows 2000 service control functions. You can specify any function
parameters through the command line. You can create batch files that call SC
with various command lines to see how your service behaves with repeated
starting and stopping."
Kind Regards,
David
