Re: Restart Window Service

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

I am running the following code on WinXP Prof. Personally, I feel that this
is a handler out of scope issue but do not know how I can go about resolving
this. Do help shed some light if possible. Thanks.

service_main(){
serviceStatus.dwServiceType = SERVICE_WIN32;
serviceStatus.dwCurrentState = SERVICE_START_PENDING;
serviceStatus.dwControlsAccepted = 0;
serviceStatus.dwWin32ExitCode = NO_ERROR;
serviceStatus.dwServiceSpecificExitCode = NO_ERROR;
serviceStatus.dwCheckPoint = 0;
serviceStatus.dwWaitHint = 3000;

hServiceStatusHandle = RegisterServiceCtrlHandler(pServiceName,
XYNTServiceHandler);

if (hServiceStatusHandle==0)
{
long nError = GetLastError();
char pTemp[121];
sprintf(pTemp, "RegisterServiceCtrlHandler failed, error code = %d",
nError);
AfxMessageBox(pTemp);
return;
}

SetServiceStatus(hServiceStatusHandle, &serviceStatus);
}

VOID WINAPI ServiceHandler(DWORD fdwControl)
{
switch(fdwControl)
{
case SERVICE_CONTROL_STOP:
serviceStatus.dwCurrentState =
SERVICE_STOPPED;
serviceStatus.dwCheckPoint
= 0;
serviceStatus.dwWaitHint = 1000;


SetServiceStatus(hServiceStatusHandle, &serviceStatus));
serviceStatus.dwCurrentState =
SERVICE_RUNNING;

SetServiceStatus(hServiceStatusHandle, &serviceStatus);

break;
}
}

Which version of Windows? What does the code look like? What ACLs were set for the
service? What service?

Otherwise, the answer is "you are doing something either incorrectly, or forbidden. Either
fix the bug, or don't do that"

Hi,

I have an application that attempts to start a service that is detected to
be stopped by the user using SetServiceStatus. However, this is only
successful on the first time but fails on the subsequent tries with an error
message 'Could not stop the <service name> service on local computer. The
service did not return an error. This could be an internal windows error or
an internal service error. if problem persists, contact your system
administrator'. Anyone knows why?
