[python-win32] Multiple Windows Services

[Harald Armin Massa]

Nick,

guess I had a similar problem. My solution was:


[....]
cnf=oboxparm.readini()
class oboxservice(win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework):
    _svc_name_=cnf.get("system","_svc_name_")
    _svc_display_name_ = cnf.get("system","_svc_display_name_")
    _svc_description_ = cnf.get("system","_svc_description_")

    _svc_deps_ = ["EventLog",cnf.get("system","dbservice")]

    def __init__(self, args):
        win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework.__init__(self, args)
        self.hWaitStop = win32event.CreateEvent(None, 0, 0, None)

[....]

"oboxparm.readini()" is reading a config file in the directory of the
service.exe, and within that config file I store the name of the
service within the parameters.

That reading is done by

 from ConfigParser import SafeConfigParser

giving back a configuration structure.

Hope that helps,

Harald
