#121402 - 2004-06-17 08:37 AM Q - How to create a service with KiXtart?
MightyR1 MightyR1 MM club member Registered: 1999-09-09 Posts: 1264 Loc: The Netherlands	Guys, I need to create a service on remote clients. And of course I'd like to do this with the help of KiXtart. The service needs to run a KiX script which checks every 10 minutes or so if there's a job file waiting in a local folder. Challenge is how do I create a service on all my clients within a certain IP Range (10.0.1.1 - 10.0.2.255). _________________________ Greetz, Patrick Rutten - We'll either find a way or make one... - Knowledge is power; knowing how to find it is more powerful... - Problems don't exist; they are challenges...

If you want to create your own service, you may also need - SRVANY.EXE, and INSTSRV.EXE. Now, for the code.

MightyR1 MightyR1 MM club member Registered: 1999-09-09 Posts: 1264 Loc: The Netherlands	Will dig in the reskit. I knew about srvany etc.. Could it be done without remotexec. Is a service anything else than some local files and an entry in HKLMSCCS\Services? _________________________ Greetz, Patrick Rutten - We'll either find a way or make one... - Knowledge is power; knowing how to find it is more powerful... - Problems don't exist; they are challenges...

MightyR1 MightyR1 MM club member Registered: 1999-09-09 Posts: 1264 Loc: The Netherlands	Yep, remotely. I thought it was searching my subnet for active workstations, copy some files to it, tweaking the registry and at next reboot the service would start... _________________________ Greetz, Patrick Rutten - We'll either find a way or make one... - Knowledge is power; knowing how to find it is more powerful... - Problems don't exist; they are challenges...

Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	One limitation I can see with both service as well as tasks. If you use a domain account.. If the account password changes, you have to change the password in the service or in the task too.. Kent _________________________ Utilize these resources: UDFs (Full List) KiXtart FAQ & How to's

ChristopheM ChristopheM Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-05-13 Posts: 311 Loc: STRASBOURG, France	with sc from the resource kit, you can do what you want with services (create, modify, delete, stop, start, query). there is also FileNotify which is certainly more optimized that a kix script as a service : this tool is provided to run as a service (filenotify -install) configuration is in a .txt file (in the program directory) you decide what object you scan (directory, file), what event perform an action (create, delete, modify, rename, change attribute, change security) and what action to do (define the commandline to execute so you can start a kix script) the service reacts when the event occurs. There is no polling. if your script may access to network resource, you should change account and password of the service because by default, it runs with the local system account. so, if files are available on the remote computer, you can (for example) start a job with psexec that execute : filenotify -install net start filenotify when you want to change the configuration, execute remotely a script that stops the service, copy a new version of the config file filenotify.txt and restarts the service. _________________________ Christophe
