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.
