Hello,
I have a windows service. I want to restart it after every 24 hour. Is it
possible to restart the service programmaticall y(from the service itself)
using the sercvice controller object? Or should i chose some other approach?
Any ideas?
Thanx for all help.

If you don't want to get complicated, use the NT SC.EXE (service controller)
in command line mode to start your service. Set the command line for it in
the system scheduler.

Although you could user a ServiceControll er to stop your service, once it is
stopped it won't be able to start itself.
By far the easiest way is to have a batch file with:
net stop <servicename>
net start <servicename>
and schedule that to run once a day at the desired time of day.

Could i solve this issue by starting a new process(a bat file which contains
comands to stop and then start the service) from the windows service?
Is it possible?
(I have actually no control over the system schedular.)
Thanx

Hi Iceman,
Why do you want to do that?
Did you get memory leaks so that you work around in this way?
If it was a COM+ service, I think you use COM+ administration library to
do the stuff.
Automating COM+ Administration http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/cossdk/htm/
pgdeployingappl ications_5cmf.a sp
For a regular service, I think you need to use a watchdog service to do
it.(similar with the task schedule).
But you should rather fix your memory leaks.

Hi Peter,
The services I am talking about is completely developed by managed code. The
reason i awant to restart the services for example each 24 hours is because
"some times" one of those services stops to do the task they was made for.
The service status is still running in the serivce control manager. When the
service is restarted then everything works fine... I am not sure why this
happens.... I have try and catch blocks "everywhere " in the code. Database
connections are Creted / Opened / Closed / Distroyed .etc.
Any ideas?
Thanx for you help and time.
Best regards

Hi Iceman,
I think you may try to do the task in a seperate thread in which it will
signal an event to tell the service process that it was alive. If the
signal doesn't produce in a fixed period, there should be something wrong
with the working thread, you may try to Abort the thread and restart it
again.
If you have any concern on this issue, please post here.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
