similar to: Fwd: Win32::Daemon, Problems with service_stop

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

Hello lists! This is not spam, but included the 2 lists (mongrel-users and win32utils-devel) because the both are involved. Attached is the 3rd version of a simple http_service script used previously to get the things right for the mongrel Rails service. With the modifications Zed implemented the past days (into the beta gem, 0.3.13). Now the service part works better. Still, a few things must

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, I''m forwarding this message from Brian Marick. If you run this test script and then paste the results into a Unicode aware text editor, you''ll notice that it only prints one character instead of three. I tried changing the strlen to _tcslen and strcpy to _tcscpy, but that didn''t help. I mucked around a bit with the MultiByteToWideChar function, too, but

Got this today.

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, I created a "pure" branch on github that uses the code Heesob posted a while back: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/win32utils-devel/2008-November/001274.html However, I couldn''t make it work on my Vista laptop. c:\Users\djberge\Repositories\win32-service\examples>ruby demo_daemon_ctl.rb start VERSION: 0.8.0

Hi all, I wrote a little echo client to run as a service. I have a couple of problems with this. First, any time I try to define anything in "initialize", the service fails to start. Any idea why? Also, this service runs for a while, then just quits for no reason that I can see. The Event Log merely says, "The Abba service terminated unexpectedly". Any ideas on

Hi all, A user recently ran into an issue with win32-eventlog and the EventLog#read method when reading a saved log file. It seems that there''s an issue. After some experimentation I found that the problem seems to be that the initial buffer to ReadEventLog() in line 558 is too small, so it tries a second call to ReadEventLog() with a larger buffer. The problem is that, after I

Dang, I thought we solved this. Any ideas? Dan PS - I realized after reading this I forgot to bump the version number for 0.3.3 - I''ve uploaded a new zip file with the correct version number. -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was scrubbed...

Hi all, I''ve started porting the Win32::Shortcut Perl module over to Ruby. I''ve done some initial work and committed it to CVS (look under win32utils - I goofed and made a toplevel dir as well - it''s empty). Anyway, everything compiles fine, but when I do "s = Shortcut.new" I get a weird error: test.rb:11:in `initialize'': undefined method

Hi, I just got done using win32/service to run a very small/hack-ish "Riki" WEBrick service. Very cool stuff. Thanks. So, in the process, I noticed a lot of the "control" start/install/etc. command line parser stuff looked a bit boilerplate, so I pulled it out into a helper function "service_cli" (for lack of a better name). Its simple, but it allows me to do away
