You are doing nothing wrong - that is teh nature of services, regardless of what language they are written in.
The usual approach is to store the params in the registry or some config file so you can re-use them later.

Start Params keeps dissapearing Hi all, I have created a Python WINNT service and it works fine when you start it the first time when entering the needed start line parameters. When the service is stopped, the start parameters dissapears and you have to type them in again - sort of negates the reason for making it a service in the first place. Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?
