Restarting Windows service using an another application

Hi,

Can some direct me to an article or sample code where we can create an
application or a service to restart another windows service?

Thanks,
Stephen

I have a Windows Service in C# talking to a serial port and using Remoting. It also uses several COM objects. On customer's computer the service will occassionally hang somewhere - the service still shows on a Task Manager list. In Services it says it is still running. However there is no way to stop it other than by rebooting the whole computer. No exception (including non-CLS) is ever generated. I added a separate System.Timers.Timer...

I have a Windows Service (VB.NET) that runs 24/7. It queries a Web service 5 to 10 times per hour. About 2 or 3 times a month, it fails. The log indicates that it sends the request to the Web service but there is no return from the service. Stopping and restarting the Windows service cures the problem. Our desire is to cure the problem with appropriate error handling but failing that, is there an easy way to automatically stop and...

My software relies on a third party data provider to a propretary database. In turn the third party database relies on a Windows Service that runs on the server to supply the data... The problem is that from time to time this service dies without warning. Is there any way that I can write another small service or similar (using vb.net) that checks at regular intervals that the service is running and restart it if it isn't???

The problem is that the web application mysteriously shuts down (ending all sessions) due to a supposed 'configuration change'. By using ASP.Net Health Monitoring we can determine that the application occasionally raises a "Application is shutting down. Reason: Configuration changed." event during normal application usage. The only known way to duplicate this event is to manually save the web.config, which correctly triggers the event as...

Hi Everybody, i need to restart a windows service made with c# when an fixed event is raised. So to test it, I've added a servicecontroller to my service, and in the creation method, i've created a new thread to try to stop it. This is my code: public Service1() { // This call is required by the Windows.Forms Component Designer.

Hi... Following the samples online, we implemented a windows service in .Net. Like most services, there's a worker thread actually doing stuff in the background. The problem we've run into is how to get the service to exit when the worker thread has a fatal error *and* get the SCM to invoke the auto-restart configuration? The worker thread can error out while the parent thread in the server process chugs along. We can set the exit...

I'm really starting to hate writing services -- or trying to, anyway. Why do I need to rename my project to the service name? Why do I need to set the "ServiceName" property to my service name? Why do I need to set a property within my code to the service name? Are all these required or am I just doing this for consistency purposes?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
