NET, Need to create a Service...

Judas · Dec 5, 2004, 11:08 PM

As you know, i'm not exactly fond of fiddling with the registry or core system files or configurations..

However, i need to know HOW to create a simple Service...

Basically i have to run a program... have it restart if it crashes (i'm not sure if you can get it to create a log file in a specific place)

and i'm not sure if it's possible that if it crashes a certain number of times in a row.. that'll stop and give an error...

It needs to have priority setting as well.. above normal..

it will start on bootup....

The program that is start start has a Command string on it as well...

example:

D:\Unreal\UT2K3\System\UCC.exe server DOM-Ruination.ut2?Game=XGame.xDoubleDom?Mutator=UT2Vot e21.UT2Vote ini=Server\JudasUT2K3.ini log=Server\JudasUT2K3.log

that's how it needs to look... it needs the INI= command for sure or else there will be problems..

also... i've tested it with a simple shortcut... so i know it works without using a BAT file...

Now, is this possible? and how do i go about making the service?

i need to test that but basically you need "srvany.exe" (Applications as Services Utility ) from the Resource Kit.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

and then see this http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;137890

also see if this helps ... http://www.planetunreal.com/TheAdminPage/nt4service.htm

ok.. so it's fairly involved... but i'm not sure if the Resource KIT is absalutely nessary.. or is it?

would simply going into the registry adding a folder called say for example: UT2K3Server with the parameters set with the

D:\Unreal\UT2K3\System\UCC.exe server DOM-Ruination.ut2?Game=XGame.xDoubleDom?Mutator=UT2Vot e21.UT2Vote ini=Server\JudasUT2K3.ini log=Server\JudasUT2K3.log

and then reboot... it should work right?

then i could set other values through the services configuration built into windows by default.... or no?

you need the file, i can email you just the .exe with instruction, also will check the registry later and see if i can come up with something easy for you to apply and to remove it from registry when you don't need it.. later.

------------------

emailed to your DH address.

not in email message..
you have to edit your registry, to modify subkey value(s) of this below key..

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\UT2K3Server]

try it, don't worry. if any problem, pls email me or post..
