Howard Lightstone pointed out that sfa_keys thinks that the correct key is
"Command" not "lpCommand" as the error message says. Working code follows:
hscm =
win32service.OpenSCManager(None,None,win32service.SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS)
try:
hs = win32serviceutil.SmartOpenService(hscm, svc_name,
win32service.SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS)
try:
service_failure_actions = {
'ResetPeriod': 6000000, # Time in ms after which to
reset the failure count to zero.
'RebootMsg': u'', # Not using reboot option
'Command': u'', # Not using run-command option
'Actions': [
(win32service.SC_ACTION_RESTART, 60000), #
action, delay in ms
(win32service.SC_ACTION_RESTART, 60000)
]
}
win32service.ChangeServiceConfig2(hs,
win32service.SERVICE_CONFIG_FAILURE_ACTIONS, service_failure_actions)
finally:
win32service.CloseServiceHandle(hs)
finally:
win32service.CloseServiceHandle(hscm)
I suggest the attached patch to correct the error message.
