Is there any inbuilt sys functions which can start and stop a tomcat service in a given machine. I need to stop the service, copy a .war file into webapps folder and start the tomcat service. I can see that we have StartService(hostName, serviceName) and StopService(hostName, serviceName) which can be used. But when i try using it in a windows machine, i am getting errors saying unrecognized command. Can someone help in this regard.
if you are getting errors saying unrecognized command that means the command cant be found in windows also for us to understand this more, post your script in code tags
die "service is arealdy started\n" if ($status{CurrentState} == 4);
Win32::Service::StartService("\\\\".$computername,$servicename) || die "Can't start service\n";
print "Service started\n";
}
Here when this sub is called, the error message "Can't start service" is displayed. I read that if we dont specify a machine name , the local machine is taken by default. So i have left that empty. So i guess this sys function does not work in windows.. is there any alternative?
If you leave out the hostname argument for GetStatus method, then local machine will be considered by default. But in your case, you are setting the hostname to null.
does not work either. What intrigues me is that , Win32::Service::StartService is supposed to be used for windows right.. And yes I also tried using localhost as the cumputer name.Thanks for your suggestions though.
