[python-win32] FW: Python script as a windows service

[Tor Erik Sønvisen]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to execute a python script as a windows service.

I found some information at:

http://agiletesting.blogspot.com/2005/09/running-python-script-as-windows.html

 

The steps I've taken are the following:

 

1. Downloaded Windows Resource Kits

2. Executed instsrv.exe nameOfService srvany.exe

3. In registry added a key Parameters in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nameOfService entry

4. Under Parameters added three string values:

    4.1: Application                REG_SZ                    C:\Python25\pythonw.exe

    4.2: AppDirectory            REG_SZ                    C:\Python25

    4.3: AppParameters         REG_SZ                    C:\Documents and Settings\torerik\My Documents\Apps\SARImageProcessing\time.py

5. Started nameOfService in Control Panel --> Adminstrative Tools --> Services

 

This is not working however as the python script (time.py) looks like this:

 

import time

 

i = 0
while True:
    f = open(r'C:\testService.txt', 'wb')
    f.write(str(i))
    f.close()
    i += 1
    time.sleep(1)

 

and no file named testService.txt is created.

I've tried executing the script normally, and it works like a charm...

Any ideas?

 

regards
