Create a Service

[Lars]

Hi

Is it possible to create a Windows service, that starts a .cmd file ?
I need it to start and stop an application on specific time during the day.

regards

Youre thinking more of "editing" a service,for that you would probably
create a script,go to:http://www.microsoft.com/technet Locate the
script center.

Scheduled Tasks.

instsrv.exe comes with the NT service pack, and will do what you want.

C:\temp>F:\NTRESKIT\INSTSRV.EXE
Installs and removes system services from NT

INSTSRV <service name> (<exe location> | REMOVE)
[-a <Account Name>] [-p <Account Password>]

Install service example:

INSTSRV MyService C:\MyDir\DiskService.Exe
-OR-
INSTSRV MyService C:\mailsrv\mailsrv.exe -a MYDOMAIN\joebob -p foo

Remove service example:

INSTSRV MyService REMOVE

You can use the task scheduler to start it and in the settings, you can
specify when it should stop.
