Types

type Config

type Config struct {
	ServiceType      uint32
	StartType        uint32
	ErrorControl     uint32
	BinaryPathName   string // fully qualified path to the service binary file, can also include arguments for an auto-start service
	LoadOrderGroup   string
	TagId            uint32
	Dependencies     []string
	ServiceStartName string // name of the account under which the service should run
	DisplayName      string
	Password         string
	Description      string
}

type Mgr

type Mgr struct {
	Handle windows.Handle
}

func Connect

func Connect() (*Mgr, error)

Connect establishes a connection to the service control manager.

func ConnectRemote

func ConnectRemote(host string) (*Mgr, error)

ConnectRemote establishes a connection to the service control manager on computer named host.

func (*Mgr) CreateService

func (m *Mgr) CreateService(name, exepath string, c Config, args ...string) (*Service, error)

CreateService installs new service name on the system. The service will be executed by running exepath binary. Use config c to specify service parameters. Any args will be passed as command-line arguments when the service is started; these arguments are distinct from the arguments passed to Service.Start or via the "Start parameters" field in the service's Properties dialog box.

func (*Mgr) Disconnect

func (m *Mgr) Disconnect() error

func (*Mgr) OpenService

func (m *Mgr) OpenService(name string) (*Service, error)

OpenService retrieves access to service name, so it can be interrogated and controlled.

type RecoveryAction

type RecoveryAction struct {
	Type  int           // one of NoAction, ComputerReboot, ServiceRestart or RunCommand
	Delay time.Duration // the time to wait before performing the specified action
}

RecoveryAction represents an action that the service control manager can perform when service fails. A service is considered failed when it terminates without reporting a status of SERVICE_STOPPED to the service controller.

type Service

The count is reset to 0 if the service has not failed for ResetPeriod seconds. When the service fails for the Nth time, the service controller performs the action specified in element [N-1] of returned slice. If N is greater than slice length, the service controller repeats the last action in the slice.

func (*Service) RecoveryCommand

func (s *Service) RecoveryCommand() (string, error)

RecoveryCommand is the command line of the process to execute in response to the RunCommand service controller action. This process runs under the same account as the service.

func (*Service) ResetPeriod

func (s *Service) ResetPeriod() (uint32, error)

ResetPeriod is the time after which to reset the service failure count to zero if there are no failures, in seconds.

func (*Service) ResetRecoveryActions

func (s *Service) ResetRecoveryActions() error

ResetRecoveryActions deletes both reset period and array of failure actions.

func (*Service) SetRebootMessage

func (s *Service) SetRebootMessage(msg string) error

SetRebootMessage sets service s reboot message. If msg is "", the reboot message is deleted and no message is broadcast.

func (*Service) SetRecoveryActions

func (s *Service) SetRecoveryActions(recoveryActions []RecoveryAction, resetPeriod uint32) error

SetRecoveryActions sets actions that service controller performs when service fails and the time after which to reset the service failure count to zero if there are no failures, in seconds. Specify INFINITE to indicate that service failure count should never be reset.

func (*Service) SetRecoveryCommand

func (s *Service) SetRecoveryCommand(cmd string) error

SetRecoveryCommand sets the command line of the process to execute in response to the RunCommand service controller action. If cmd is "", the command is deleted and no program is run when the service fails.

func (*Service) Start

func (s *Service) Start(args ...string) error

Start starts service s. args will be passed to svc.Handler.Execute.

func (*Service) UpdateConfig

func (s *Service) UpdateConfig(c Config) error

UpdateConfig updates service s configuration parameters.
