How to use python to register a service (an existing .exe file

News123

Hi,

Is there a python way to register new windows services.


I am aware of the
instsrv.exe program, which can be used to install services.
I could use subprocess.Popen to call


instsrv.exe "service_name" program.exe


but wondered, whether there's already an existing function.

Thans in advance and bye

Use the win32 package.

Indeed, there's some intersting code in this area here:

http://svn.zope.org/Zope/trunk/src/nt_svcutils/service.py?rev=104819&...

http://svn.zope.org/Zope/trunk/src/Zope2/Startup/zopectl.py?rev=105396&...

....particularly in the do_install function in the latter...

instsrv.exe does not come with Windows by default, but I guess it
should be possible to add a service using the win32 built-in `sc`
command line tool.

Try `sc create` from a console.

The app you want to install as a service will still have to be
compliant with the win32 service interface, otherwise it will throw an
error, although the app will still be started.
