similar to: win32/service... still with problems.

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. (Win32::ServiceError) from

Hello Guys, I''m trying to get this working: t = Thread.new { while true puts "printing a line" sleep 2 end } gets t.exit puts "exiting" As you see, the idea is get multiple "printing a line" until a hit enter. The thing is this is a known problem for 1.8 on win32. I tried both mingw, VC6 and VC8 with the same results. Saw a post

Hi all, Has anyone else been able to build Ruby 1.8.7 from source on Windows? I get this when I run configure: C:\>win32\configure.bat find: =: No such file or directory Creating Makefile Creating Makefile(6) : fatal error C1085: Cannot write compiler generated file: '''': Invalid argument NMAKE : fatal error U1077: ''cl'' : return code ''0x1''

Ok, this might sound bad... well, actually it is. I''m my rewrite of mongrel_rails_service and provide a uniform set of commands in the line of gem_plugin commands, found a few issues while stopping the service. Thinking that rails (1.1.2) was responsable, tested against my 1.0.0 rails app, both with the same results. Again, reverted to mongrel 0.3.8, when services was working ok, with

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

Hi all, Windows XP Pro Ruby 1.8.2 I''m having a couple of problems with the following service. The first issue is that the code in service_start doesn''t seem to fire off. The second problem is that any attempt to do ''require "webrick"'' within webrick_daemon.rb causes the service to fail on start. Any ideas? # webrickctl.rb

Hi all, Any Java/JRuby folks on the list? I''d like to see if we can implement api.c for JRuby using JNA and see how it handles the callbacks. I''m not a Java guy, nor do I know JNA, but I''ll take a stab at it if no one else on the list does. Here are a couple of useful links: http://www.infoq.com/news/2007/09/jna-jruby https://jna.dev.java.net/ Regards, Dan This

Hi all, I''m trying to get the allocation size of a file via a file handle (rather than its name). The example below works for FileNameInformation but I can''t get it to work as expected for FileStandardInformation. Here''s some sample code: # query_test.rb require ''windows/handle'' require ''windows/error'' include Windows::Handle

Hi, Unless I''m mistaken the final arguments to Service.start should be passed to the Daemon''s service_main method. Correct? I modified the Service.start method (now in CVS) to look something like this: def self.start(service, host=nil, *args) ... num_args = args.length if args.empty? args = nil else args.unshift(service) # Necessary?

Hi all, Just looking over fole_s_connect() in win32ole.c and I noticed this bit: hr = CLSIDFromProgID(pBuf, &clsid); ... hr = GetActiveObject(&clsid, 0, &pUnknown); ... hr = pUnknown->lpVtbl->QueryInterface( pUnknown, &IID_IDispatch, (void **)&pDispatch ); Using win32-api, that would be something like: IID_IUnknown =

Konnichiwa Mongrel users, mongrel_service cannot run as a windows service under my environment, with the windows message : "error 1053 : The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion." >From a part of "ServiceFB.log" at c:/ruby/bin, mongrel_service failed to get the process name of "service.exe".

Hi all, How does this look as a general approach to a SID.create method: # Creates and initializes def self.create(authority, *sub_authorities) if sub_authorities.length > 8 raise ArgumentError, ''maximum of 8 subauthorities allowed'' end authorities = Array.new(8, 0) authorities.replace(sub_authorities) count = authorities.select{ |e| e > 0 }.size

I can''t get mongrel installed on a Win XP. I keep getting some unknown error with this "win32-service-0.5.2". While it states results are logged, the file is empty - not much help. I even tried complete uninstall of ruby and reinstalled ruby 1.8.5-21. But no luck. Oddly, I had no problem installing earlier on a Win 2K machine. Is there something special about XP? here

Hi all, This is odd. It looks to me like we have all 4 variations of memcpy set in Windows::MSVCRT::Buffer but somehow this one creeps up. I actually noticed it in a few cases with that earlier mmap sub/replace example, but I wasn''t sure what was happening. Note that windows-api 0.2.3 and windows-pr-0.8.3 are the latest versions in CVS, but this happens with windows-api-0.2.2 and

Hi all, I''ve got the latest win32-mmap code checked into CVS. Unfortunately, it seems that I''m not able to open an existing mapping and retrieve set data. Below is a simple example that seems like it ought to work but doesn''t. Any ideas? # map1.rb require ''win32/mmap'' include Win32 mmap = MMap.new(:name => ''alpha'', :size

Hi all, Yeah, I''m going OT here... I''m not entirely sure I understand how Ruby builds parse.y on Windows, but it works. However, when I changed all instances of "Ruby" to "Sapphire", and renamed all the source files, I suddenly started getting this error: byacc ./parse.y ''byacc'' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Hi all, One of the net-ping users reported that the Net::Ping::External library was returning false positives on Vista. Basically, it does a ''ping -n1 host'' and checks for certain error strings. The problem is that the error strings it checks for are in English. The user in question is using a cmd.exe that''s entirely in Swedish (I think). Is there any way I can
