Attached is a patch and my service.c if there is any difficulty applying the patch. I did the following: 1. Created a ruby thread (Ruby_Service_Ctrl), that polls against a simple integer value (protected by a critical section). I was worried this would be "expensive"; however, I found the rb_thread_polling method and it seems to work well. 2. When an event occurs in Service_Ctrl it sets the flag value. 3. If Ruby_Service_Ctrl finds...

...readID and in logging I displayed the Current TID -- and we are switching system threads in the ruby interpreter. Looking at service.c, I see you are using RegisterServiceCtrlHandler, there is no guarantee that it will be called from the main thread (matter of fact it generally won''t). In Service_Ctrl, you make an rb_funcall using the call back hash, which then calls back into the interpreter while the main thread is still running under mainloop. My side effect was some scrambled ruby file handles and some pipe closed on stopping errors. I would be happy to give back and fix this issue, but wan...

In order to be able to call event hooks as I mentioned previously it looks like I''ll have to do something like this in Service_Ctrl(): // For example if(dwCtrlCode == SERVICE_CONTROL_STOP){ rb_funcall(self,rb_intern("send"),rb_intern("on_stop")); } There are a few problems. First, I''m not sure I''m calling that properly. Second, I don''t know how to get "self" into t...

I''m back to getting stuff to run as a Windows service, and am running in to a problem. My service (a Daemon ruby class) installs and starts fine, but when I try to stop it, I get: C:\workspaces\default\tahoe>ruby script\service stop script/service:77:in `stop'': An exception occurred in the service when handling the control request.

Hello list, In my quest to get Mongrel working as service for win32, found some problems with win32/service that make it impossible to solve. Attached is the simplest service script I could do with ruby, which depends on win32/service. I found that doing anything complex in service_stop (killing threads, doing file handling, even sleeping for 0.25 seconds). crash the service with backtraces (of
