-How to use the NT_Service example.
-
-The NT_Service program has the following usage: -in -r -s -k -tn -d
- -i: Install this program as an NT service, with specified startup
- -r: Remove this program from the Service Manager
- -s: Start the service
- -k: Kill the service
- -t: Set startup for an existing service
- -d: Debug; run as a regular application
-
-In order to see different stages of an NT service application,
-you have to run the program several times, with different options.
-Please note: run with only one option at a time.
-
-1. Make executable NT_Service.
-
-2. First, you must initialize the service in the NT SCM database.
- Run NT_Service with -in, where n is one of the following startup options:
-
- //
- // Start Type (from WinNT.h)
- //
- #define SERVICE_SYSTEM_START 0x00000001
- #define SERVICE_AUTO_START 0x00000002
- #define SERVICE_DEMAND_START 0x00000003
- #define SERVICE_DISABLED 0x00000004
-
- If only -i is specified, SERVICE_AUTO_START is default option.
-
-3. Now you are ready to run the actual service. Run NT_Service again,
- this time with -s option. If the service starts successfully, it will
- ring the system bell every second or so until the service is stopped.
-
-4. To stop service execution, run NT_Service with the -k option.
-
-5. To remove the service from the Service Control Manager database, run
- NT_Service with -r.
-
-In addition, once you have initialized this service (by using the -i option)
-you can change its startup type to one of the other values above. To do
-this, run NT_Service with -tn option. n is as explained above for -i.
-
-In order to debug the service's execution itself, use the -d option.
