In the process of using it for running a reliable-msg (drb) server and clients, I had some

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

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, 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

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

Hi, I believe this patch would be a perfect solution for a lengthy initialization application.

I''m having some trouble separating the Daemon class stuff from the Service Control stuff. I have a "daemon.rb" file in ''C:\''. I also have a daemonctrl.rb script in another directory. It installs fine, but I can never start it successfully. What am I doing wrong? Dan # daemon.rb in ''C:\'' require "win32/service" include Win32

Hi all, I *finally* committed the patch from Patrick Hurley (you know, the one he submitted way back in June). Looks like it works. I''ve also revamped the code under the examples directory. There''s now a tdaemon.rb (the test daemon) and tdaemon_ctl.rb (the test daemon controller). Before I release this into the wild I want to make sure I document how to use it properly.

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?

Anyone want to take a stab at this? I''ve brought it up before but it''s been a while. Dan Note: forwarded message attached. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi all, I''ve forwarded this from the Mongrel mailing list to see if anyone has any thoughts. In summary, Luis is hitting broken pipe errors on occasion when he tries to stop a service. In a later email Luis mentions that simply ignoring them might not always be the best idea, since sometimes the service seems to no longer respond, even though it still appears to be running fine.

Hi, This must be a newbie problem. I''m running XP SP2. I installed mongrel with gem, and attempted to run the example mongrel_simple_service.rb (unmodified) in SciTE. The script runs for about 10 seconds and then stops giving the following output: >ruby mongrel_simple_service.rb >Exit code: -1073741819 (0xfc0000005) Can someone give me a clue as to what I''m doing wrong

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

First off I just want to pass on a big thank you to everyone who has worked on the win32 packages, they have helped me numerous times. But (of course you knew it had to be coming :-)... I have just started doing some work with win32-service -- I was creating a wrapper around it and daemon.rb, so I could write one body of code that depending upon platform would provide a reasonable interface for

Hi all, I''ve been working on the win32-pipe library (again) and I''ve reworked the interface. Instead of Pipe.new_server or Pipe.new_client, there''s now a base Pipe class, with Pipe::Server and Pipe::Client subclasses. You can find the latest code in the CVS repo. Oh, and you''ll need to update your windows-pr library with the latest from CVS if you want to

Hi all, I think it would greatly aid service debugging if we added Ruby''s backtrace information if a Service.start fails. This would be lines 1251-1255: if(NULL == hSCService){ strcpy(error,ErrorDescription(GetLastError())); CloseServiceHandle(hSCManager); rb_raise(cServiceError,error); } I''m not sure exactly how to do it, though. Or do you think it should just be
