Hi,
I've created a simple Windows Service that starts an .exe with
Process.Start() . However, I've noticed that when I logoff from one
user account to another the child process (.exe) is shutdown (although
the service is still running). This behaviour makes my Windows service
useless, as all the hard work is done by the .exe (not written in C#).
Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
Cheers,
Rob

Does your service do anything besides start the exe? There's a tool on
the NT resource kit called SrvAny which allows you to run any exe as a
service which might do what you want.
Hi,
When the user logoff all his processes are terminated.
So you should try to run the spawned process as a system process.
How is your service running?

I tried to add the same code in a service and have not

Hey all,
I wrote a Windows Service. When I test it on my developement machine (winXP)
it works fine. It starts ok, never crashes, etc.
When I install the service on another machine (win2000) it *sometimes*
crashes upon starting. The progressbar you get when you manually start the
server will very slowly progress, and when it hits 100% after 2 minutes or
something I get the error 'The service could not be started because it did

Suppose you have one domain, filled with a couple of users. What needs to be
done now is I need to start a windows application from a webform by pressing

The problem is that the user who "owns" the service is always the ASPNET
account. That's not good since you don't see the actual application (because
it's owned by ASPNET). I've tried changed the processmodel section in the

I'm having a strange problem with a service I developed. After installing the service on the target machine, I'm trying to start it using the Services admin window. I get the "Windows is starting" status window, but it times out - even though the application's log file says that it did start. The service's OnStart event spawns a thread and exits - that's all! I even tried it with no code in the OnStart event and get the same thing. The service...

OK, I created my handy little windows service and created an MSI installer
using the Deployment tool in VS.net with Custom Actions according to the
msdn help.
Worked great, with one little hitch. The Service is installed and marked
for Automatic startup, but the service is not starting with windows. If i
reboot and then check the services, the service shows as Stopped, but still
marked Automatic.
Any idea?

We're using the ServiceController class provided by the .NET Framework,
programming in C#. We are using the Start() method to start a service from
another service. This works fine most of the time, but occasionally after a

automatically started by Windows XP) the ServiceController's Start() method
fails to start the other service. It is probably throwing an...

Hi
I have created a Windows Service using C# and .NET2.0. The service is
quite simple - right now it doesn't do anything except throwing an
exception in the OnStart method. It used to something more, but I
couldn't get it working, so I boiled it down to the exception to test.
Anyway, the service can be installed using InstalUtil but when
starting the service, I just get the message that the service stopped
again withour reporting any...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
