i make my application as service but it run moment and after that it stop why?

Hi there;

Could you post the code of the service?

Is there a some kind of loop in your service to execute as an infinite manner?

Best regards.

Please also check the event viewer to see if there's any related log.

i use the setup factory to  make that the script i use


and my code  have 2  threads  and  each  of the two  thread their  is  infinite loop

what  is  the problem  of that  ???

Service.Create("d:\\Program Files\\MYapp\\start.exe", "sa3qApp", "sa3qApp", SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS, true, SERVICE_AUTO_START, SERVICE_ERROR_NORMAL, "", "", nil, "", "");

Select allOpen in new window

In your program (start.exe) put some error logging to a file, this way you can better debug what is happening and where it stops.

3_S:

how can i put some error logging ?????????

Use a try catch statement in your program
If you already have some error catch, put extra statement in the catch block to write the error to file.
If none use yet, put one around the code in your main.

try{
  Your code
}
catch( MyException ex )
{
  StreamWriter* pwriter = new StreamWriter(S"c:\\log.txt");
  pwriter->WriteLine(S"Error occured." + ex.Number + ":  " + ex.Message );
  pwriter->Close();
}

Select allOpen in new window

Not only the threads must have an infinite loop but the service_main as well. Your service_main was called by SCM and should do a permanent job until terminated by SCM. That also is done by callback using the status function you provided with your call to SCM.

httheir many problems  of the  code

syntax error : identifier 'MyException'    means you didn't include the header for MyException.

'StreamWriter' : undeclared identifier    iis same issue

what is the header of  MyException


and the stram writer

MyException is a private class where you should have a myexcept.h. If you don't have such a class or header you need to throw another class, e. g. std::string.

The stream writer also must be a known class. It is not standard c++. Use std::stringstream if you copied the code from somewhere elese as a substitute for streamwriter.

please i don't want to go  far  from my question

i know  that their web services  and data base services  that run  in the start of the computer


i want my program  to  run  befor any user log to  his account in the log in  on  the start of the windows

how can i make like that

Ok forget the logging then,
Can you just explain what your program must do a the startup of your computer?
Maybe you are just trying to get the logged in user, but no one is logged in yet.

please put your executing/the code that works as service into a while loop...while(true)

See what happens.

Best regards.

my program must run  befor any user login to  his account because the  application  i will  put it on  the server to  make some services in the local network  to  the  users  on the lan

can  any body  help me  how to  run it  ??

Service.Create("d:\\Program Files\\MYapp\\start.exe", "sa3qApp", "sa3qApp", SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS, true, SERVICE_AUTO_START, SERVICE_ERROR_NORMAL, "", "", nil, "", "");

If we look at your command (from the manual)
AllowDesktopInteraction
(boolean) Whether to allow the service process to interact with the desktop. If set to true, the service must run in the "LocalSystem" account. This can be done by setting the ServiceStartName to "LocalSystem".
This is set true in your command, has the localsystem account all the right there are needed to run?

yes i run the program on  administrator  user

Since your is program is supposed to runs when no desktop is yet loaded is would recommend to set it to false.
The program has no GUI?
The last two parameters of the command are User and password. This is not set, so now it runs under the localsystem account
So to set to run with administrator user (adjust accordinaly)
Service.Create("d:\\Program Files\\MYapp\\start.exe", "sa3qApp", "sa3qApp", SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS, false, SERVICE_AUTO_START, SERVICE_ERROR_NORMAL, "", "", nil, "yourdomain\\administrator", "yourpassword");

3_S:  

i make that but the same problem  appear it   appear to me

error 1053  the service not response for starting in the exact time

the application like  a server   their  is no  GUI

did you implement the status callback function?

>js-profi:
>did you implement the status callback function?

no???????

To get the service status to 'started' your service_main should set the service status to running after initialization like

    SetTheServiceStatus(SERVICE_RUNNING, 0, 0, 0);

where SetTheServiceStatus is a function like

thank you  for  your attention

now i know that the problem  from my code  and i must code  service main

but if you can help  me  i attached the  main  code  it have  2 threads   each  one call  function  have  infinte loop  it  listener    how can  i use my code with  your code ???

please don't histate if you can help

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,LPSTR lpCmdLine,int nCmdShow)
{

	 CWinThread* thread1 =AfxBeginThread(N_mang,NULL,THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL,0,0,NULL);
	 CWinThread* thread2 =AfxBeginThread(S_Data,NULL,THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL,0,0,NULL);

	 HANDLE h[] = {thread1->m_hThread,thread2->m_hThread};
			for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
			WaitForMultipleObjects(2, h, FALSE, INFINITE);
			}
		

  return 0;
}

if your current app was started as service you already have some service_main which was calling WinMain. I know there are wrappers which make any win32 app a service. i assume you've used such a wrapper? or how did you get your app started as a service?

if i am right you only need to set the service status to running. do it in the WinMain after creating the threads but before waiting. use the SetTheServiceStatus function i copied from MSDN samples. you can get more docs and sample code searching for SCM or service.c in MSDN.

i try to use all  the  code you type   but their ten's of  errors in compile

please can you give me  full  code  include your code with  my code

ok thank  you the service run  but it didn't run on the windows login  


i mean befor any user  logon

what is the problem ??

the program  running in the logon  but  it not interactive  with  any thing  

you mean logon or boot? services - which you can watch in the services applet - were always started before first login. it depends on their account whether they have access to local network or not. if started with local system account they have no access to network. better create a user specially for that service and start the service using that account. then it should be able to do something. loggings should be made to file cause desktop is not available .

yes i  mean  boot

i choose local network  

i want to  run the program in winlogon.
The  program  run  perfect when  i use any  user desktop  and the administrator account run  the application  when  i log of the program  not closed but it  make like pause  and if i login  to  other account  it  resume  the session of the application i want the program  to  run without pause

may i have your  advise  

i still have doubts whether your prog is a service. if you start it from desktop with admin rights it is not a service. a service can be installed once using an installer or have a own installing option, e. g. like invoking it by myservice -i. then the SCM (service control manager) applet form can be used to start/stop the service which keeps installed and it always runs at boot time before any login. after login you need process-to-process (P2P) communication to speek with the service or send jobs/request to it. P2P can be made based on sockets, shared memory, pipes, files, windows messages. if user logs out the service would still run.

if you want to start your prog after login, you could use the 'at' tool which can be easily configured using the explorer at windows\tasks folder.

please understand me  the program  installed as service and i make it to  start  automaticly
and it start automatic
the program  work  with  files and local  network and interactive with windows
it must be run  all  times
 i means  by all times
 1- when any user work on his desktop
 2- when  their is no  users logon to  his  account
this computer will  not be shut down and the service(program) must run  in the  winlogon screen
 thank you for your attention

thank you

you solve the problem that appear to run the service

i will open new question because i want my program to be active if there is no user login to his account

yes a service would all do what you request beside of interacting with the login screen. here a secured gina.dll would block any interference for login not being spied out by malware.
