\title A simple Service Controller
It is a very simple implementation of universal command-line
controller. This controller can install and control any service
written using QtService component. It demonstrates how to use
QtServiceController class. On Windows, this is an alternative to
using the "Services" Administrative Tool or the built-in \c sc.exe
command-line tool to control services.
A note about services on Windows Vista: Installing/uninstalling
and starting/stopping services requires security privileges. The
simplest way to achieve this is to set the "Run as Administrator"
property on the executable (right-click the executable file,
select Properties, and choose the Compatibilty tab in the
Properties dialog). This applies even if you are logged in as
Administrator. Also, the command-line shell should be started with
"Run as Administrator". Note that the service itself does not need
special privileges to run. Only if you want the service to be able
to install itself (the -i option) or similar, then the service
will need to be run as Administrator. Otherwise, the recommended
procedure is to use a controller such as this example and/or the
"Services" Administrative Tool to manage the service.
A usability hint: in some circumstances, e.g. when running this
example on Windows Vista with the "Run as Administrator" property
set, output will be sent to a shell window which will close
immediately upon termination, not leaving the user enough time to
read the output. In such cases, append the -w(ait) argument, which
will make the controller wait for a keypress before terminating.
