We have written a service that uses a timer control to check for a process
every 60 seconds. This is installed on a Windows 2003 Server w/SP1.
The problem we are running into is that the service doesn't stop, but it
seems the timer process stops. Has anyone else run into this? What have
been solutions?

What Timer class r u using? You should be using System.Timers.T imer and
make sure that the AutoReset is set to true

What the service does?
Does it happen the first time or after several events?
Are you handling all the exceptions ? using AppDomain.UnHan dledException
I have a similar environment and I haven't had any problem yet, the timer
(and a filesystemwatch er) works as expected all the time.

I have read that this doesn't happen to everyone. I have also heard that it
works under Windows 2000, but not always under 2003.
The service is simple. It waits 60 seconds, then logs into a mailbox to
push files into a SQL DB.
We can't physically recreate the problem. Instead, we encounter the problem
after about 20 - 30 days of running. We are working on a service that will
notify us if it is in a stopped state, so we can better narrow down the
times that it runs.
We ae running on Windows 2003 w/SP1. I'll look into the Exception.

We don't believe we are getting any type of exception, it seems to be more
of a disconnect between the timer and the worker thread.

why dont you instead of using a timer, simply put the current thread
asleep for a minute? I have many services that do similar things, and
I just have them in an infinite loop w/ a sleep. Then on service stop,
I kill the threads.

I have a service that use a timer running in both 2003 and 2K , I have no
get an error until now.
Have you seen another posts like yours?
I would check for the exception, what you do in the handler? maybe is there
where it's failing

Hi,
It may be of use to you to know that we have experienced serious problems
with System.Timers.T imer.
It would run for a while, and then for no reason we could fathom it would
stop.
To observe this we had to run a dozen or so instances of our app over the
weekend and usually just one of them would fail.
When we switched to a dedicated thread the problem was fixed.
My recommendation : don't use System.Timers.T imer
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Adam.
