similar to: TCPServer failure within daemon

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

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

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

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, 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, While testing the pause/resume functionality with the daemon_test.rb script, I noticed this odd bit of behavior. It appears that sometimes, the pause command seems to actually stop the service. It doesn''t happen every time - just sometimes. Here is a bit of command line history to demonstrate: C:\eclipse\workspace\win32-service-0.4.0\test>ruby daemon_test.rb start VERSION:

Hello mailing list! Sorry for the personal/private mail I sent to Daniel and Park, but just a few minutes ago I subscribed to this list. I have found the solution, for webrick, mongrel and other webserver (well I guess). If the code in service_main is blocked (like the webrick dispatcher), the service_main function never exit/left, so service.mainloop never terminates and service control

All, At the risk of annoying you all to death with seemingly trivial things, I was thinking that we should change a couple method names. I know that I myself had suggested "on_stop", "on_pause", etc, for the event hooks in the Daemon class. However, I think I will change those to "service_stop", "service_pause", etc. This isn''t a major issue,

Hi. First post in this group and I hope someone can help. I am trying to teach myself Ruby with a long-term goal of doing some web development using Ruby on Rails. Note: version C:\rails\hello>ruby -v ruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09) [i386-mingw32] I have been going through Jeremy McAnally''s book "Mr. Neighborly’s Humble Little Ruby Book" and there is a section in chapter 5

I committed a new version of service.c and daemon_test.rb. Now you can pause and resume a Ruby service module. Regards, Park Heesob --MIME Multi-part separator--

Hello! I've tried to set up dovecot in conjuction with vpopmail, and running it under djb's tcpserver instead of (x)inetd. Btw - there was no reference to setting dovecot up using (x)inetd either in the manuals/faqs i read, though I didn't search all that hard. Anyway, back to my Q: vpopmail uses vchkpw as an authentication mechanism, and with tcpserver I can do relaycontrol (based

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

Just trying to come up with hooks for win32-service. It looks like Perl''s Win32::Daemon defines these: start....................The service is starting. pause....................The service is entering a paused state. continue.................The service is resuming from a paused state. stop.....................The service is stopping running..................The service is running

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.

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
